Still waiting for swap prefetchStill waiting for swap prefetchPosted Jul 28, 2007 3:43 UTC (Sat) by roelofs (guest, #2599)In reply to: Still waiting for swap prefetch by Richard_J_Neill Parent article: Still waiting for swap prefetch Really, FF crashes on me about once a week, because although I have 2GB RAM and 6GB of swap, firefox manages to malloc() 4 GB! Geez, what are you doing to the poor thing?? No idea where it is going - admittedly I tend to have about 200 tabs open, but that alone shouldn't be the problem. OK, that might do it... I have two FF windows containing a total of 9 tabs, and it's been running since early March. Total memory usage (per ps(1)): 197M allocated, 157M resident. (Of course, there's also X11 pixmaps, as was noted in another LWN article a while back. I've forgotten how to check that, but even if FF were the sole X client--which it's not, by far--that's only another 194M allocated and 46M resident.) Greg
