Interviewed by CNN on 14/05/2012 23:01, Craig told the world:
If I go to a graphics intensive site like maps.google.com or
www.zillow.com, Seamonkey saturates one of my processor's cores and it
becomes very slow to respond. Specifically, on maps.google.com, changing
from the map display to the satellite display is painfully slow. Zillow
just saturates one of my processor's cores most of the time.
Is there any fix for this?
You might attempt to update your video drivers. Mozilla products are
known to block hardware acceleration on older video drivers due to
stability reasons.
I went to nvidia.com and downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.49.run, the
latest non-beta driver for my GeForce 8600GT they have. After doing an
init 3 and installing the driver (with their libraries) I have found:
- If I go to
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/829-Folsom-Street-414-San-Francisco-CA-94107/2120805344_zpid/
with Flash disabled as NoOp suggested, after an initial processor load
for loading the graphics, my processor load is low. It is, however,
higher than displaying the Add-ons Manager tab. With the Add-ons Manager
tab displayed, the only thing that shows up regularly in top is top
itself, at a %CPU of 0.0, 2.4, or 4.9. With the Folsom Street visible,
seamonkey-bin shows up regularly at a $CPU of 12.2 and occasionally 14.9
and 17.1.
- If I go to Zillow's page for showing a map of an area,
http://www.zillow.com/homes/shingletown,-ca_rb/ , for example, the
processor load goes up noticably. Now seamonkey-bin's load varies
between 35% and 80%, with Xorg varying complementarily to make up close
to 100%.
So, where I spend most of my time on Zillow, looking at the map of an
area, is still not improved. And I don't need to minimize a window; all
I need to do is go to another tab.
The results with Flash turned on are essentially the same as it off.
