Ahh, It's Xorg. and in the case of Opera, the problem doesn't seem to be occurring in 8.10 - although I don't think it has Flash setup... > What kind of video card > and driver are you using? Intel 88245G intergrated - with the default driver. Originally it ran with desktop effects on, which I disabled. After upgrading to 8.10 I am no longer able to re-enable them. >Firefox should be fine on a slowish machine with > lots of RAM (512MB is fine). Xorg is at about 90M with only another 30 odd to other stuff. Firefrox Load yahoo.com.au: Firefox = ~150M and Xorg is ~130 Firefox @ 40% CPU, Xorg at about 60% - the weird thing is they stay at roughly these levels, even though I'm not scrolling pages etc. Opera Load yahoo.com.au: Opera = ~30M, Xorg = ~95 Opera @40% when active, 5% when idle. Xorg at 5-20%. As mentioned flash isn't installed. Maybe I should try swiftfox, or just get flash working on Opera? > - Jeff > > -- > OSDC 2008: Sydney, Australia http://www.osdc.com.au/2008/ > > "If you want to start a debate on a subject, however, all that seems to > be necessary is to involve perennial target Richard Gooch." - LWN > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
