High memory usage

Not sure if this is strictly on my end? Or something to do with the coding on the site? But almost half a gig of RAM... Seems like a lot (especially considering what a whore Facebook can be with all them pics and stuff).

This is after just a couple minutes of play, then idling on the home page. Maybe: home > crimes > home > jail > home > gym > points > refill energy > gym >home ... and that's it.

If it's not obvious from the screenshot, Windows 7 and Chrome. This is a clean install - Everything from the ground up, including Windows, this is a 2-hour-old computer.

Don't tell me I should close and reopen the tab every time I want to play... lol

Well it seems I have been misblaming firefox for being really shitty lately. It seems 3 tabs of torn are running at 900k useage.

I've noticed over the last 2 weeks particularly, that the site has been having some lag spots. So there is something up, and it's site side.

Hmm... Mine also 400K
Firefox : 424.000

I want to try Safari or Opera in the future.

Will pass this onto Ched, see what he thinks.

New high score? Hehehe... https://youtu.be/FTaJMf1CCMg

Mine is only 11,468 KB on Firefox. How do you find memory usage for a tab in Firefox?

I Google'd it and clicked the first link... I know this is a difficult process... Here's what I found:



There's a couple things you can do to see what kind of overhead you've imposed on Firefox.

The about:addons-memory Extension will give you a nice looking page showing how much memory each of your extensions is using. You can use that information to decide if the overhead imposed is worth the functionality it provides, or if you should look for a more lightweight extension that has similar functionality.

Also, the about:memory page will give you a very technical view of how Firefox is using the memory that's been allocated.

Be careful though, both views give fairly technical information and can be easily misleading if you don't truly understand what you're looking at, how memory allocation in Firefox works, and how your OS manages memory.

As far as I know Firefox doesn't have any built-in way to show the other details that Chrome's Task Manager does, like CPU and Network usage. As @RobK alluded to, Firefox's current architecture may not make providing such statistics easy (or even possible).

lol amazing ram usage ..

Hi McNeo,

I actually found memory leak, and fixed it. The fix will be live on Tuesday. But it will not make a miracle, we can't control the things that happen outside the current page, i.e. before or after reloading the page.
