My config:
Fire 0.29b
G4/733 (640MB), OS X 10.1.2 (5P48)
I'm using ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo, so I decided to check this out. "top -u
-s5" (sort by processor usage, refresh every 5 seconds) reported Fire
using somewhere between 3-4% CPU usage.
So, after taking a look at the differences between Jason's list of
services and mine, I figured the MSN service might be at fault. The MSN
service seems to crash on me frequently enough, so who knows, maybe it
was eating cycles while connected.
But disconnecting from the MSN service made no (obvious) difference in
the amount of CPU used. Still somewhere between 3-4%.
So I disconnected from the ICQ service. This made a little difference,
but Fire still hovered between 2.5-4%.
Disconnected from the Yahoo service: no appreciable difference. Fire
CPU usage still hovered between 2.5-4%.
Weird. I wasn't connected to any service, and Fire still used almost
the same amount of CPU as when I was to all three.
Perhaps the CPU usage is an OS X/mach thing and not a Fire thing in this
case?
