OW 5.8 using too much RAM, and beachballs...
Since upgrading to 5.8, I get quite high RAM usage(250mb+) within a few minutes of starting up. I also get some beachball activity at start-up... I usually start up with google reader as my saved page from the previous session.
Anyone else experiencing this behaviour? Cheers, |
Hi-
I'm averaging ~71 Megs of Ram, with OW 5.8 on my Intel-Mac Mini. Possibly cleaning OW's cache might help, but aside from that , I'm short on suggestions. Good luck. |
That was about what I used to see. 70 to 80mb. I will do a cache cleaning to see if that helps.
[edit]After flushing the cache and only starting up the omniweb start page, this page and feedburner home page, I am already at 109mb! Every page I open seems to ramp it up a few MB. |

Webkit.app/Safari isn't much better. Firefox starts out much more slowly, but at the end of the day it gets there too. I don't now if it is my system, but I'm really disappointed about the state of webbrowsers. |
For the love of god, this is 2008. Put the max amount of RAM in your machine. I put 3 GB in mine and haven't looked back.

same here on 10.4.11, Intel Mini. à propos, i have max ram built in.... |
You might also try turning bookmark checking and syncing off, these can contribute to ram usage.
Clearing your history and keeping fewer days worth of history may also help. |
Thanks Troy for the reply.
I have check bookmarks off by default, and leave 5 days for history. I also don't sync any bookmark locally, or use idisk. I will keep an eye on Ram usage still though. It does seem to ramp up fairly quickly. I will clear up the history and see if this helps. |
