High CPU usage

[David Wilkinson]

Using SM2 on Windows 7 x64 (and other Windows machines).

I have found many discussions of high CPU usage in FireFox and SeaMonkey, but 
none of the suggestions have ever helped in my situation.


The symptom is that SeaMonkey freezes for a few seconds, most noticeably when 
scrolling a document or clicking a menu (when I expect instant response). The 
problem is less severe on my new quad core machine (Windows 7 x64) and worse on 
an XP virtual machine.


When this happens on my quad-core machine, Task Manager typically shows high CPU 
on several cores (usually three), not just one one core as happens when I load a 
new page.


How can I find out what SeaMonkey is doing when this happens?

High CPU usage

[flyguy]

Why does this site take SM from 20% CPU usage to 60%? Chrome is almost 
unaffected.

Good question.  I've been seeing this for months now.  I believe it has 
something to do with the mail component in SM.  If I run just the 
browser it's fine.  Once I run mail, however, I see these periodic 
freezes.  I've tried turning off automatic mail and news refresh/message 
download to no avail.

If you close all mail windows then the mail part of SeaMonkey does not do 
anything? I would think so, but I tried this one time and it did not seem to help.


I do have a lot of mail accounts and (especially) newsgroup accounts.

In my experience, if I close the mail window but leave the browser open, 
the mail app continues to poll for messages and download them on 
schedule (unless I change the settings). I still get the little envelope 
in the tray when incoming messages arrive, and if I then open the mail 
app, they've already been downloaded and are ready to read.


And I, too, have periodic freezes that seem to coincide with the 
downloading of mail. I mostly notice these when playing videos, which is 
a CPU-intensive process. In that case, the only way to recover is to 
pause the video and restart it from the point where it froze (once it 
freezes, it stays frozen). Audio is not affected.

I must say that if it is mailnews that is causing these freezes (and messing up 
the browser) this is a very strong reason not to use SeaMonkey.


But surely it should be possible to run the mailnews downloads at low enough 
priority that they do not interfere with more performance-critical stuff.


But why are you so sure that it is mailnews downloads that is causing the 
problem?

Because just when the computer starts responding again, I get the audio

David, to eliminate the possibility that it is the mail that is causing 
this problem, could you go to Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups and 
under General Settings , untick "Only check for mail", Close the 
Preferences window, then go Edit->Mail& Newsgroup Account Settings and 
select Server Settings on your email account and in the Server Settings 
section, untick "Check for new messages", "Check for new 
message." and "Automatically download.." and close this screen, too.


Then do your normal browsing and then, at the end of your session, open 
the mail portion of SM, get your mail and report back here.

Thanks, Daniel.

My mail settings are a little different, maybe because I only use IMAP mail.

Anyway, I think I have disabled all the automatic mail and news activities, and 
I will see what happens. For now, I still have the mailnews window open, but I 
will try closing it if I still see the problem.


Will report back...

Why to untick this? If I want to throttle mailnews as much as possible, would I 
not want to tick it?


But what does this option mean exactly when ticked? Does it mean that mailnews

If you remove the check for e-mail and leave the check in for browser 
then when you open SM it will only launch the web browser and you will 
have to manually open the mail and newsgroups application.


Another option is to remove all the checks and create icons on your 
desktop to launch SM in Mail, and/or Browser.

Michael:

The checkbox I am talking about says:

"Only check for new mail after opening mail & newsgroups".

Obviously, there is no analogous checkbox for the browser.

I have noticed this too, but in my case it seems to be related to
updating the RSS feeds (I follow quite a lot of them). It's not nearly
as bad as it used to be with NewsFox on Seamonkey 1.x, but it's still a
bit annoying.

Regular mail downloads (either POP and IMAP -- I have both) don't seem
to freeze my machine at all, unless there are BIG attachments -- and in
that case, I might suspect the antivirus...

David, if you leave the tick in, the Mail&Newsgroup portion will be 
running, and some are saying that the Mail&Newsgroup portion is hogging 
CPU Cycles. If you don't start it, it shouldn't use any cycles!!

That echoes my experience too.

And, while I cannot define a version when this started my "sense" is 
that it began with my using 2.1 pre releases.  Could be wrong but that's 
my best guess.

This check-box says

"Only check for new messages after opening mail & newsgroups"

To me this says "Don't check for new messages unless mailnews is running", so in 
order to throttle mailnews you should check this option.

Thanks all for the suggestions, but my attempts to throttle background activity 
in mailnews do not seem to have helped. In fact, the problem always seems to be 
caused by some kind of user interaction with SM, often something quite 
innocuous. If I just watch Task Manager without using SM, I do not see these spikes.


In the past I have tried starting SM in safe mode and this did not help either.

Again, the symptom is a sudden spike in CPU usage on several cores, sometimes 
three, sometimes four.


Again, is there any way to determine what SM is doing to consume these cycles?

To be exact, it means "Don't check for new messages unless MailNews has 
been opened at least once during the current session.". So it doesn't 
matter whether you have a MailNews window open at any given time, but 
only whether one had been open at any time during your current session. 
In other words, MailNews keeps running in the background at all times, 
unless it is not started at all. And if the above checkbox is *not* 
checked, the check for new messages is *always* started.

The problem may be wuault (windows update) that examines things under SM.

Thanks. So I think I was right: I should tick this box if I want to throttle

But I did not realize that mailnews kept running in the background after it was

I must say I hope it is not mailnews that is causing this problem, because this

On the brighter side:

(a) Maybe this problem will be gone in SM 2.1. I'm a bit busy to upgrade right 
now, but I will soon.


(b) On my new quad core machine this is not nearly such a big problem as it used

It's not, mailnews is still causing stalls in SeaMonkey.  Happens 
consistently.  And, yes, I too will have to give it up if no solution is 
forthcoming.

No problems in mine. Are you using an ad blocker like uBlock Origin that 
might help you? I do have high CPU usages on other web sites like 
YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

If you're running Seamonkey 2.53.1, be aware that the release notes 
indicate that there's no current version of AdBlock Plus that's 
supported.  For that kind of functionality, there is still uBlock 
Origin, where the dev continues to keep support for an XUL version.


Take a look at 
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.53.1/ and note that 
version 2.9.1 of Adblock Plus is known to cause memory and CPU issues, 
and it is recommended to switch to uBlock .  I did that about a year 
ago, and I've found that while it took me a while to get used to 
uBlock's different philosophy and UI, I generally like it better than 
Adblock.


Moving to uBlock may solve some of your problems, but perhaps not 
everything, especially if you have lots of blocking rules in place.


I've found that I occasionally have resource issues, especially if I 
leave Seamonkey open overnight (and I normally leave my machine running 
24/7).  When that happens, Seamonkey tends to become less responsive, 
and a check of the Windows task manager shows lots of CPU activity and 
memory usage in excess of 1.5 GB.  A few days ago, I was filling out a 
form that had a lot of entries (and where every entry had script 
processing). By the time I got to the end of the form, the last few 
entries were giving me script timeout errors.


I do make quite a bit of use of extensions, but most of them are small. 
However, with the combination of uBlock and NoScript active, I'm 
inclined to believe that those (either individually or together) are the 
primary culprits. I have been long suspicious of the possibility of 
memory leaks, but that's only a guess.  Last summer, I changed out my 
machine -- it has 16 GB of RAM in it and an SSD drive, and the high 
resource usage problem seems to be less.  But I still have to remember 
either to make sure I close Seamonkey at the end of the day, or if I 
start the day and find it open, restarting before beginning working.

Firefox changed their interface to extensions a couple of years ago, 
Seamonkey has not made that change (yet?).  I suspect the newest 
versions of Adblock will not be compatible with Seamonkey.

I've noticed SM using a lot of memory after a few days; restarting it can cut the 
memory use in half. I do leave it open at night, but the computer is sleeping 
then. Since so many sites now complain about me using an adblocker, I find I'm 
using it less and less, so my plan is to keep AdBlocker disabled and see how I 
like things.

One of the effects of using NoScript is that for a site to complain 
about using ad blocking, detection requires a script to run.  If the 
script doesn't run, then the site can't throw a complaint at you.  Of 
course, if the scripting host that runs the ad-blocking complaint also 
runs other essential scripts, then enabling that host will give you the 
complaint.  The same thing applies to EU cookie warnings. And in some 
cases, auto-play of audio or video content. Script blocking blocks a lot 
more than just intrusive tracking.


For me, I tend to be aggressive about blocking scripts.  Although I will 
permanently whitelist scripting hosts that I know are necessary to get 
the content I want, there's a lot where I'm willing to take the work of 
manually whitelisting temporarily, where I either clear whitelisting 
when I no longer need it, or when the permissions get reset when I close 
the browser.


I do make occasional use of a browser profile that doesn't do script or 
ad blocking -- I keep a profile that I have only minimal tweaks on, as 
there are occasions where it isn't possible (or at least easy) to try to 
make temporary exceptions for.  This most often relates to sites that 
have forms, especially purchasing).  I'll tolerate default settings for 
individual transaction. However, I've found that a lot media sites are 
so heavy on ads that they're nearly unbearable to see.  I've heard of 
people who are on low sugar diets that complain of being sickened if 
they happen to take in something that's high sugar (such as a soda or 
candy bar). To me, it's like that with using a browser with unblocked ads.

SM 2.14.1 High CPU usage

[flyguy]

System: XP Professional on Dell 530 (4 processors, 4 GB), running SM 
2.14.1 with Lightning and Fireform extensions.


Today, SM began using about 25% of CPU time, making typing and other 
task slow generally unresponsive. I closed all windows but one, then 
began closing tabs. When I closed the tab for this page...


http://www.goldengadgets.com/18650-battery-charger-kit-with-ultrafire-18650-battery.html

SM returned to using a 3% or so of CPU time. Reloading that page takes 
the CPU use back to 20-25%.


What is the problem: that page on the site, SM error, a user setting, 
Flash or ?

Re: SM 2.14.1 High CPU usage

It's seems to be related to JavaScript since I see CPU usage. Disabling 
JS makes it go down, but you lose the times/clocks. That might be it. :/ 
I use FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus, etc. so it can't be the ads. and Flash. 
I also don't have Java installed.

I tried on my wife's computer, also Win 10 and SM 2.49.4, and it worked well. I

On my machine I started at 5-7%, then loaded the page, and it mostly 
stayed there, with occasional spikes to 30% at 30- to 60-second 
intervals. After a couple of minutes, it settled to 5-7% and stayed there.


I suspect some ad-serving routine, which is blocked by my ad blocker. Do

https://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/

Using Chrome, the same web site causes only a 5% rise in CPU usage. Every thing 
slows down, the fan comes on loudly - What the heck is going on with Seamonkey, 
and can it fixed?


On my machine I started at 5-7%, then loaded the page, and it mostly stayed there, 
with occasional spikes to 30% at 30- to 60-second intervals. After a couple of 
minutes, it settled to 5-7% and stayed there.


I suspect some ad-serving routine, which is blocked by my ad blocker. Do you 
use one?


Yes, I do, and just before I read your post, I tried it with Adblocker enabled, 
and the CPU usage hardly changed after the page loading finished. That's the first 
time I've seen that interaction! Any idea why that would happen?


Also odd to me: I don't have an ad blocker on Chrome, yet it wasn't affected - CPU 
usage went up only a bit.

No problems in my SeaMonkey v2.49.4 web browser on my decade old, 
updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC. I also use uBlock Origin to block ads. Do 
you use an ad blocker? Also, do you have this problem in other comic 
strips hosted in https://www.gocomics.com server?

Website: high CPU usage in SM, none in IE

[flyguy]

This website uses 25% of my CPU time in SM 2.21 (Win XP), but 2% or so 
in IE 8.


http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2005-Jayco-Greyhawk-24ss-111012813

Is that a flaw in SM? Is it a setting I can change? It slows down the 
computer, and I can hear the HD whining.

Task Manager shows high CPU usage due to SM

[Ray K]

At some websites, TM will show very high CPU usage (about 75% or more) 
due to SM, even when nothing is being downloaded. The  message at the 
bottom of the screen reads "transferring data from (website)" That 
message could last for minutes, with CPU usage remaining high. Odd 
thing, the Stop button is grayed out, so there's no way to end the 
hangup. During this time, I can scroll, click on links, switch tasks, 
and most of the time they operate properly.


Sometimes, however, everything is frozen. CPU usage is 100% due to SM, 
and TM/Applications shows SM as Not Responding. The mouse pointer 
changes to an hourglass for every part of the screen except the bottom 
row (between Start and the clock), so I can't click Stop to "calm down" 
SM. If I wait a 30 or so more seconds, eventually SM starts running and 
things become normal.


What's the cause of the high CPU usage, the grayed out Stop button, and 
the freezes? I don't remember any of these problems with v1.1.11. 
Started with v1.1.12.


Anyone else having these problems? Along with my scrolling problem 
(posted a few minutes ago), they are becoming annoying enough to drive 
me to IE. Since Firefox is also from Mozilla, I don't know if changing 
to it will be an improvement or merely changing to a new set of problems.

Me too, 25-28% vs. 1-3% in IE. Win7 Pro SP1 (64-bit), SM 2.21.

I'll bet it has something to do with the 1.8 Megabytes of JavaScript on 
that page.

Or maybe the 20 HTML errors, or the 973 CSS errors. It's also a "jquery"

No, sorry I can't. I don't use Windows so have no IE. I can say that the

You can disable adblock for a specific webite alone by right clicking on 
the addon when you are loading a specific site.


90~95 % of the browsing issues are caused by browser's 
Addons/extensions/themes/plugins , some issues are with sites 
themeselves, some issues arise due to firewalls and Antivirus tools.

I too saw huge CPU usage when accessing that web page

I disabled adblock,noscript etc and the load factor was noticeably
less.


Ah ha! When I disable Adblock for that page, CPU usage drops to 1 or 2%;
apparently, it's Adblock, or some interaction of Adblock and SM, with
that page. When I re-enable Adblock, the CPU usage remains at 1  or 2%;
reloading the page and  it zooommms back up 25% CPU usage. Very
repeatable.


Hovering over the Adblock icon shows it's blocked 40,000 items, and this
increases by thousands every few seconds. I've reported the problem to
Adblock


How is this AdBlock's problem? Complain to the site that's sending
40,000 ads!


It's not really sending 40,000 ads to the page; at least, only four ads 
appear, and there is no apparent increase in internet traffic.


It's Adblock's problem because blocking ads is what they are supposed to 
do, and Adblocker specifically asks for reports whenever problems are 
encountered, so it sending them the report is their idea.



I hope they will figure out what is going on. Maybe the website has a 
clever way to get past ad blockers, maybe it's doing something that 
fools Adblocker into responding to things that aren't ads - I don't know.

I think the problem is that it's highly unlikely that AdBlock /really/ 
blocked 40,000+ ads. There's no way in Hades that page loaded 40,000 
ads; otherwise, my browser sure would have used a LOT more than 6.5% CPU 
load and very little memory when I visited the page.

Seamonkey 2.7 high CPU usage on idle (Linux 32-bit)

[Kertesz Laszlo]

Hello,

It seems Seamonkey 2.7 uses CPU cycles when idle. And quite many of them.
I use Debian Testing 32-bit with Xfce 4.8. ALso, i use the pre-built
Linux packages from Seamonkey's site as in Debian Seamonkey (iceape)
latest version is 2.014.

Now, the issue:

I have a few extensions installed, but if i disabled them i saw the same
behaviour. Also i have 2 IMAP accounts and 5 RSS feeds configured.
I usually have forums or the like opened and i have the flashblock
extension on all the time on all sites.

Right after launch Seamonkey behaves ok, but after a few tab open/close
(i have ~10 tabs open usually) it starts to use 20-30 % CPU (Athlon II
250 x2 @3.00 GHz) even with a blank new tab open. But the CPU usage goes
down to 1-3% if i minimize the window.
Firefox 9 (iceweasel) from the repos does not have this issue so its not
a platform thing i guess.

Anyone else with this issue?

Just add rules to disable it on sites you face issues.
When you feel that you don't want adblock on a website then click on
adblock and set an exemption rule for that website.


If this were a way of getting users to disable Adblock and similar 
add-ons, would that, possibly, lead web-site coders to set their sites 
up to circumvent the use of Adblock, etc??
