Not sure if this is related to linux/SeaMonkey specifically, but I found that using SeaMonkey2.1b2/FireFox4/Chromium to play pandora.com (I use pulseaudio from a standalone machine to stream it over to a system with speakers) was sucking up all of the cpu on the machine.
Finally figured out that the process that is the culprit is 'plugin-container'. Watching in 'top' I found that 'plugin-container' (flash related) was eating the cpu and often pegging it to nearly 90%. I opened 'System Monitor' and set 'plugin-container' to a 'Nice' value of 14 and all of sudden I have most of my cpu back & the stream works just fine. 'plugin-container' ($ top and $ ps e will show you them) is still taking up 25% but that's considerably better than 80-90%. Now I just need work on keeping 'plugin-container' to a nice 'Nice' value permanently. I don't wish to disable 'plugin-container' completely, just set a 'Nice' value so that it behaves. Any ideas? <http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&complete=0&site=webhp&source=hp&q=linux+%2Bmozilla+%2B%27plugin-container%27&btnG=Search> And for those that are wondering what a 'Nice' value is: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_nice.htm _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
