Also irritating is millions of javascripts and flash adverts and
animated gifs eating up assloads of CPU in tabs that aren't even
visible.
But are you talking about refreshing pages ?
In my case problematic refreshing pages contains png but seems it
doesn't matter it is png or gif of jpeg files and I can reproduce this
also on by hand reloaded page. I can reproduce this also on opened png
file in firefox/galeon by refreshing this using ctrl-r.
I'm save single png file from zabbix map page (~40KB 1000x1000 png
file), generate copy of this file in jpeg and gif and open this files in
separated tabs (png, jpeg and gif).
Each time ctrl-r press on each tab causes in my case eats next chunk of
memory by X server.
Before refresh:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
3253 root 16 0 1480m 845m 8148 S 12 42.0 787:18.00 Xorg
After five time ctrl-r:
3253 root 15 0 1480m 864m 8148 R 8 42.9 787:30.59
Xorg
RES groves ~19MB. This png file have 1000x1000 pixels and X display
depth is 24bpp. 1000x1000x3 = ~3MB .. so looks like buffer for keep this
previous version of this files was not released.
Can you check this on your system using above scenario ?
Try to open gif/png file which will take big amount of memory in
uncompressed form (1MB or more).
