Perhaps it's a flash issue? <http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/829-Folsom-Street-414-San-Francisco-CA-94107/2120805344_zpid/> With out flash enabled, top shows seamonkey-bin taking 2.3% cpu & 20.3% memory. This is running Ubuntu 11.10, has a P4 2.4Ghz processor, 3GB of memory (1GB of that is taken up by a virtual machine just now). about:support shows: Graphics Adapter Description: NVIDIA Corporation -- Quadro4 900 XGL/AGP/SSE2 Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation Device ID: Quadro4 900 XGL/AGP/SSE2 Driver Version: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.20 WebGL Renderer: Blocked for your graphics card because of unresolved driver issues. GPU Accelerated Windows: 0. Blocked for your graphics card because of unresolved driver issues. AzureBackend: skia You can't get much more basic than that. Now lets reload that page with flash turned on: top showed the cpu jumping to 16.9% and nearly immediately going back down to ~9-10%. Cick on 'View Virtual Tour' & no noticeable differenct. Further, I've been running this 2.9.1 SM all day w/2 windows & 15 browsing tabs, standard email window + 3 nntp windows open. So it might be worthwhile to explore other issues with your system/graphics? ... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
