Nope, but if you'd think it through, you'd realize that the 'nice' number is the only
meaningful number. There's no reason not to use the CPU to the full potential if there's
no one else requiring it. And if there's something more important (nicer) requiring it, a
Firefox process constantly using "only" 40% CPU time isn't very comforting:
better just lower its priority and have it eat the leftovers of the normal-priority
processes.
i do not agree, even if you ignore the power bill and the co2 emission
for generating that power,
100% cpu -> power -> heat -> varible fan speed increases -> noise
is there a way to limit a tab ?
You're suffering because of scheduling done by the kernel, which is not aware
of tabs or anything like this.
i agree, but maybe each tab is a different process or thread and so i
can influence it disconnected from the others
Anyway, Shachar solution is the practical one for YNet :)
yeah, just searching addons for adblock i get:
Adblock Filterset.G Updater
by Reid Rankin, Michael McDonald
Adblock Plus Filter Uploader
by Dr. Evil
Adblock Plus
by Wladimir Palant
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper
by Wladimir Palant
Adblock
by The Adblock Crew, Michael McDonald
and many more.
should i install an unsigned app written by DR EVIL ?
you can:
a. play dumb and not install an ad blocker, or
b. install something endorsed by the mozilla site (e.g. Adblock, at
http://adblock.mozdev.org/) or
c. use a popularity contest - click on 'add-ons' in firefox, in the new
iwndow, click on 'get extentions', and look at the most popular - one of
the top-5 is currently 'adblock plus'. install it, and be happy.
even if it does not solve your 100% CPU issue - it will nontheless save
a lot of CPU time, and save you a lot of flashing images.
