Too many Processes?

This is mine


I use alot of ram due to having afew screens and apps running all the time

The number of things that could slow down a system are legion. Along similar lines of what has already been posted, two things to consider, especially using FF (which I also use).

OS's in general and FF in particular have well-documented slow-down issues with a large HOSTS file. A suggested fix is to set the DNS Client to manual: go to <RUN> type <services.msc> (without the brackets), find DNS Client, right-click, select <PROPERTIES>, click <STOP>, then click <STARTUP TYPE> select <MANUAL> then <APPLY/OK> and boot.

The other thing to do (mentioned in Richc46's link) is to fine-tune all Services. I suggest that the quintessential guide for doing this is Black Viper's guide a must for those who wish to tweak Services.

As we all know, however, there is no limit to the activities that are able to slow down one's system other than the group's not being able to recall all of them.

Can we stop giving the guy generic advice and actually find out what gadgets hes running first.

Sidebar should definitely NOT be using 25% cpu,. Ever.

To each their own. I, for one, accomplish what I am able to, given the circumstances, and based on my willingness to expend my resources according to my whimsy.

back to thread.. FF using 250% is normal. mine is 550% . For adobe program is acceptable.Now down to your windows desktop gadget

I guess tabs and windows affecting the ram use. Im running two windows of FF with more than 10 tabs on each.

in about:config, change browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers to 1.

this reduces the memory use by a large margin.

Are you sure,where do I start? couldn't find that about;config thing
