Ram usage of Firefox with and without Adobe FLASH (flash:1,2gb ram):

[Qaridarium]

i test it! i close my Firefox with flash then i remove the flash file then i reopen the Firefox. and then i tage a screen-shot:



with flash my Firefox uses more than 1200mb more RAM!!!!

AND without flash the firefox is really FAST!

and yes the picture do have wrong text its not without firefox its without flash.

That's not really a fair comparison. Firefox memory usgage tends to grow after a lot of browsing. This would be more fair:

* Close Firefox, with Flash installed, start Firefox, measure ram usage.
* Close Firefox, remove Flash, start Firefox, measure ram usage.

its only the picture and your paranoia. because: i browse now for hours without flash and the ram never goes up like this right now 2gb. with flash my ram usage is always 3-4gb!

but hey i can make a screen-shot the other way around sure but its pointless it chances nothing.

U often uses nspluginwrapper and a 32 bit plugin instead of a native 64 bit one.

no this time i used the native 64bit file.

but yes discrediting is more easy than taking care of the results.

U 10.10 did definitely use nspluginwrapper. Did they fix it for precise?

Don't know about the memory usage, but since I removed the flash plugin, Firefox has been rock-stable.

i do not have installed the ubuntu 10.10 files.

i install the 64bit file manually.

If that were the case, then multiply the flash ram usage by 1.2 to account for 64-bit pointers

haha LOL sure! but i use the 64bit flash. means 1gb ram if i use the 32bit flash.
