I was comparing the latest release on Ubuntu 9.04 with the latest release on XP. I am a user, not a developer, and I stay away from unreleased code normally. I did not realise that your release numbering was the same on different platforms.
F-3.0 on Ubuntu had increased its memory usage overnight to 1.6GB with half a dozen tabs open and no user activity. Except it had forced my system into constant virtual memory paging. I have now installed the prerelease 3.5 for Ubuntu. My first reaction is that memory allocation is dynamic i.e. I see it going down as well as up, which I did not see before. - after leaving it running for 10 hours the memory usage is now 219.6MB, comparable with the XP usage. It would appear that the problem is solved in this version, which I assume will be pushed to all users as an update at the appropriate time. -- firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
