I have a love hate relationship with FF. The plugins are great. But it is a ram and CPU WHORE.
This is what FF does when I surf on my 2.8 gig P4 laptop. See all those EXTENDED periods where the proccessor is pegged? This is me clicking on links on standard web plain jane web 1.0 html pages.
So this is the crown jewel of open source?
Is it me or is something very, VERY wrong here?
Open Source is starting to get on my nerves.
I love open source about 90% of the time. But FF and Eclipse are turning into a bloated sacks of fark that makes MS's worst bloated sack of fark look like notepad.
Let me see.... Right now FF is using 450 megs of ram and Eclipse is @ 358 megs.
A browser using 450 megs of ram? I close out all but one browser window and it is still using 450 megs. Open what? Suck what?
If a site has a flash video (like Youtube), FF pegs the processor of my 3 yr old (1.8 gig P4 - 1.28 gig ram) laptop and grinds it to a farking halt. Unusable.
Flash videos also pegs my 2.8 gig duel processor HP box. Nice.
No wonder I think that OSS zealots are idiots.
"But OSS is FREE!"
So is dirt. Blow me.
