However, since the time I upgraded to Seamonkey 2.53.2, I'm finding it
relatively rare that I see these issues. Although I haven't seen
anything in release notes indicating fixes related to possible memory
leaks, but things are much cleaner now.
Do you use LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Twitter, YouTube,
etc.? Those definitely hog a lot of resources on my PCs. :(
No on several, infrequently on others. I use NoScript fairly
aggressively, and tend to enable only when it's necessary to get to
things I want, and also frequently (but not always) disable scripting
when I'm done.
Yes, I know that there's a lot of web site scripting, and if I've left a
browser open overnight, some of the high CPU and memory usage comes from
that kind of scripting that I may have left enabled. However, even if I
tell NoScript to revoke all temporary permissions grants, I don't see
any evidence of lowered demands on processor or memory, even after
running a full memory cleanup in about:memory.
I mentioned previously that examination of the detail in about:memory
shows the highest memory usage coming from Mail and News, where I do
make use of message filters. Sometimes I do see evidence of scripting
from script-heavy web pages, but not nearly as much as I would expect.
Logically, I agree that the script-heavy sites should show the highest
resource demand, but that's not what I'm seeing in my monitoring, and I
do find that a bit puzzling.
However, as also noted, I'm seeing far less performance issues since I
moved to 2.53.2.
