Seamonkey high memory usage

[Keith Davis via support-seamonkey]

Seamonkey starts off OK for sure. Memory usage low, lower than most other 
browsers on start-up.
As browsing continues, memory usage grows and grows, getting up to 500,000K, 
then higher, up to 750,000K or more.  Then, often crashes and freezes.
And this is when only a few tabs are opened.  The problem remains even after 
closing all tabs and memory usage doesn't drop at all.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to either of your questions.  The one
I am using is:

Restart Application Button 53.0
By Baris Derin

Restart Application Button lets you restart your Firefox and SeaMonkey
application by a quick toolbar button click.

This is in my list of extensions and it should be easy to find it and
try it for your problems.

Ah. I wonder what command it is using to tell it to automatically 
relaunch. Does it work when SM is stuck and automatically tell its 
startup's prompt to force exit the stuckage and relaunch? I get those 
once in a while with seamonkey.exe process stuck even though I quit SM 
earlier.

The restart application button closes SeaMonkey and then launches it
again.  With the hot key you must start SeaMonkey manually.

Sometimes, it can be the web site causing this. I found the Yahoo home

Apples and oranges.
IE is build into Windows and uses internal functions which are not reported by 
the memory usage. It also does not support many newer web features which are 
unfortunately memory hungrier.


SM 64 bit is around 300 MB from start with a few add-ons. x86 50 to 100 MB less.

Are you visiting the same websites with IE and SM? In my experience it
is websites and their adverts, and extensions, which cause memory usage
to creep up.

You could look at about:memory to see if it gives some clues.

You could close all the tabs/windows and then open them again one at a
time to see which makes the memory go up.

You could use Noscript to restrict javascript to the domain being
visited. I am using Noscript 5.1.8.2 as later ones won't work with SM.

Dear Tom,
I have a ¨top¨ attached so you can see how much /memory/ *seamonkey* 
uses at my site.

I have 4Gbyte RAM and uses Fedora version 20

Not sure I understand how to read it. How much memory is your SM using?

Are you using any addons? I found adblock plus was memory greedy.

the amount of load I was putting it under, and drag-and-drop features
would stop working often, requiring a restart to fix.

Someone suggested I try the 64bit version of Seamonkey, and I now am.

The performance improvement is dramatically positive. I have not yet
experienced the same trouble that I was having before, and I have really
tried to open a lot of windows and tabs.

Unfortunately, I just realized that Google maps is not working for me.
Otherwise, I had not had any other technical issues. Yahoo maps are
working fine though.



Google Maps works for me, SM 2.8 on Mandriva Linux 2007!


I did not mention it in my original post, but I was also having problems

Thanks for the report.  I will check my own setup and see what the cause 
might be.


It could be one of my addons not working correctly.

SeaMonkey 2.8 Beta 4

Released February 25, 2012

Release Notes - The release notes describe new changes,
system requirements, installation instructions, and known
issues in this release - please read them carefully before
using this version of SeaMonkey!




This preview of SeaMonkey's future is available from the
SeaMonkey 2.8 Beta 4 download page.


Incidentally, I just clicked on the English (British) language
pack, and Seamonkey told me (more uncopyable text : PLEASE make
the contents of all textual content copyable)


[blue jigsaw piece icon] Seamonkey prevented this site
(www.sea-monkey-project.org) from asking you to install
software on your computer.  [Install software | V]


Why would Seamonkey want to prevent its own reference site
from asking me to install software on my computer.  And
why (unrelated question) does the pop-up warning me of
these disappear as soon as I try to transcribe its contents
into this Compose window even if both applications are running
as non-overlapped windows ?  And one final (also completely
unrelated) question : why is Edit/rewrap non-determinstic ?
Every time I use it, without changing a single jot or tittle,
the line breaks change.

Hi.  I am currently on a 3.1.0-1-686-pae kernel.  I am aware that 
Seamonkey is only 32 bit and of the 2GB limitation, and I've seen it max 
out at 2GB many times before.


I regret that it may be some time... if ever, that we see Seamonkey go 
64bit.  So much old code in there.

Hi. I am currently on a 3.1.0-1-686-pae kernel. I am aware that
Seamonkey is only 32 bit and of the 2GB limitation, and I've seen it max
out at 2GB many times before.

I regret that it may be some time... if ever, that we see Seamonkey go
64bit. So much old code in there.

Seamonkey is currently a 32-bit application; are you running
a 32-bit or 64-bit O/S, and if the former, are you using PAE,
4GT or AWE ? Only 4GT is likely to be of help -- it would allow
a 32-bit application such as Seamonkey to use 3GB of RAM.

I've found That applications that run in 64bit mode on my Macbook Pro 
(with 8gb Ram) that 64 bit programs seem to freeze much more and exibit 
strange symptoms. Even the system runs better as 32 bit. One nice thing 
is apps in 32 bit don't drain the battery excessively like 64bit does.

Re: Recommendations for high-memory usage

[Jesse Molina]

Oh really... I had no idea.

Do any plugins or addons have any problem with it?

Do you know of any other trouble that I might want to look out for?

Thanks for the tip!  I will definitely try it out.

Recommendations for high-memory usage

[Jesse Molina]

Hi all

I use Seamonkey.  Both mail and the browser.

My platform is Linux 32-bit.

I leave my computer running constantly and the only time Seamonkey gets 
restarted is when it crashes or when it gets so slow that I just kill it 
and restart.


I have a tenancy to run with maybe twenty windows, each with an average 
of five tabs each.


Eventually, once or twice a week, Seamonkey just crashes or I kill it 
because it has frozen up or become so slow that I can not take it any 
more.  I often find that the first symptom of over-usage is that 
drag-and drop of tabs and mail items stops working.


Are there any recommendations for configuration options, environment, 
plugins to use/not-use, etc for my situation?


I have gotten into the habit of bookmarking windows and their tabs and 
then opening then when I need them, but my usage of so many windows is 
legitimate and it slows down my work when I have to go searching the 
bookmarks list for the tabs I need to reference.


Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for me?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Recommendations for high-memory usage

A few more things that I forgot to mention...

I have been using Seamonkey since Netscape came in a box.  I probably 
should start over with a new profile.  I have not needed to do that in a 
long time though, so some things in there could be slowing me down and I 
do not realize it.


I have 16GB of RAM, very modern multi-core CPU etc.  Seamonkey only goes 
up to 2GB before it maxes out.  Right now, I am at 500MB real / 1GB VS.
