Greg wrote: John Can you tell me where you got all the info listed here Thanks Greg It's from a nice little programme called top which should be default installed, but check, in a terminal, # rpm -qa | grep top gnome-desktop-2.2.0.1-2mdk libgtop2-2.0.1-1mdk toppler-0.96-8mdk libgtop2.0_0-2.0.1-1mdk libgnome-desktop-2_2-2.2.0.1-2mdk to see if you have it all installed, if not go to MCC and tell it to install top from your CD's then open another terminal and type top. there are other programmes like gkrellm that do similar things, but for this purpose top does it all nicely.

[newbie] Mozilla - that resource hog!
Hi all, I'm running MDK 9.1 on my workstation. I usually leave it on 24/7 for the week but shut it down on the weekends. Usually between Wednesday and Friday Mozilla becomes *painfully* slow. I'm talking about writing a sentance and watching it appear over the course of 10-30 seconds... Scrolling and simply browsing is also slowed dramatically. I'm running gkrellm and it indicates that my CPU is pinned at 100% during this slow period. I thought that maybe if I upgraded Mozillia that may help. So I took out the old and installed Mozilla 1.5 XFT. Still no luck. This is going to sound silly, but the only way I've found to fix the problem is to shutdown all instances of Mozilla and start the program back up. Seems simple enough, but when I'm doing a lot of research leaving the windows open is much more convenient then book marking or history browsing... Even after I shut it down it still can spike the CPU to 80-100% - is that part normal? Any ideas here? Thanks in advance, Tango Echo __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Mozilla - that resource hog!
Are you sure there isn't any other process eating resources in that period of time? Maybe a crond job? I run 1.5 on 9.1 24/7 (what??? :-) and never experienced that behaviour. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm running MDK 9.1 on my workstation.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla - that resource hog!
John. you already wrote this earlier and go me a bit surprised. As long as process is running, it should be listed (and it is, on my box) in top, no matter if it's idling or consuming all the CPU. In other words, my mozilla never gets out of top listing oh, now I get it, you're probably running top with -i flag (don't show idle processes), right? raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tango Echo wrote: Here is mine in M9.1, top - 13:50:36 up 1 day, 21:26, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.05 Tasks: 105 total, 2 running, 103 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 16.2% user, 2.0% system, 0.0% nice, 81.8% idle Mem:515336k total, 510792k used, 4544k free, 6568k buffers Swap: 1028120k total,30604k used, 997516k free, 359000k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ Command 15963 root 15 0 35552 34m 17m S 9.9 6.9 0:14.23 mozilla-bin 1599 root 9 -10 98400 15m 3420 S 7.0 3.1 30:12.89 X 16078 root 11 0 992 992 768 R 0.7 0.2 0:00.57 top 16032 root 9 0 9636 9632 6880 S 0.3 1.9 0:00.68 gnome-terminal From the above you can see that mozilla when in actual use takes 9.9% of CPU and 6.9% of memory, but when merely open but nothing doing, mozilla drops completely out of the list.

I assume it puts the most active/resource intensive at the top. So, when I'm just looking at a page in Mozilla, it doesn't show up in top, but when I scroll, there it appears, with X.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla - that resource hog!
Yes I'm sure it's mozilla. When I shut down the program and bring it back, everything is normal for around a week. Also, when I top, mozilla-bin is taking up everything!

Just as soon as you do something , like moving a cursor over the mozilla window or scrolling the window it jumps back to somewhere about first or second in the list usually vying with X (presumeably X Windows) for top slot . I guess mozilla is there somewhere but at a so low usage level as to be way off the list. Mozilla is fairly memory hungry when loading, but OK thereafter, or so it seems.
