My main Gentoo box has a 1.3Ghz Athlon. 768Mb SDRAM, and a 80Gb HD. I almost always have X running, and when X is running, so is Mozilla with typically 5 browser windows and a mail window. After a few days like this, the system starts getting sluggish. Mozilla gets especially sluggish. When I say sluggish, I mean it takes 10-15 seconds to paint the window. If I restart Mozilla, it speeds up almost back to normal, but still a bit sluggish. If I completely restart X, Mozilla is good as new. Does anyone else experience this, or atleast know why its acting like this?
I believe Mozilla (and anything else based on its core libraries, e.g.
galeon) has monstrous memory leakage. Just exit completely from
Mozilla/whatever periodically.
If it were leaking memory, would it be taking up an enormous percentage of RAM? When I run top to check its memory usage, it says that mozilla-bin is only using 10.8%.
