Yea, it does. Um... We kindof made assumptions pointing at Flash. If you have the time... Run with the flash blocker off, and check the real and virtual memory sizes of Safari with Activity Monitor after opening all those pages'n'tabs. Then do it again with Flash blocked. How big is your flash cache? ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/ How much cookie and database information is Flash being allowed to stash? The settings / settable are viewable here: <http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html> Have you used AppleJack recently? Cleared all the caches and VM files etc. >Act monitor is on 2 sec calcs - so not really spiking - just seems to be all >those damn flash ads running in the background of non active pages. Set Activity Monitor to update Less Frequently. You want average metrics, without having the monitor tool impact the system. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
