Can Process Tamer tame Firefox ?
dantheman:
Hi,
Firefox is known to have ups and downs with regards to it's use of system ressources.
Extensions are likely the major culprits.
Have Firefoxers found a way to configure Process Tamer to tame it somehow?
choicefresh:
It seems to work well on Firefox so far. Just downloaded ProcessTamer a couple of days ago.
Ralf Maximus:
Works fine here, too. Firefox is tamed.
Now if only ProcessTamer could tame that darn System Idle process... it's chewing up 85%!
:-)
dantheman:
I'm testing CPUIdle side by side with ProcessTamer.
So far so good.
Kruskal:
I just tamed Firefox and I don't understand how ProcessTamer could have done it.
Somehow Firefox was running High Priority and was sometimes using 98%+ of the CPU. I made two changes to ProcessTamer Configuration:
1- Force it Normal
2- Move the CPU Smoother two-thirds to the left, toward "might jump the gun".
That did it! Now Firefox uses only a few percent of CPU time unless it is showing a video -- then it is 60-70%.
But why??? If Firefox wishes to use almost all the CPU and ProcessTamer stops it, I would expect Firefox to run at a crawl, starved for CPU. Not no -- it runs just fine. Why?
Thanks -- Vincent
