Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Firefox Beta 7

It's been a long time since I've messed with betas for a web browser, but Firefox 7 promises memory optimizations. I'm often annoyed because I always leave Firefox with 10+ tabs open, and after a few hours, it is using easily over 600k+ of memory. It gets noticeable sluggish over time.
So far Firefox 7 is way faster. It feels faster. We shall see how it fares after a few days, as I just loaded it today.
Anyone else beta testing?

This is sort of interesting.
http://html5test.com/
303 and 9 bonus points out of a total of 450 points for Aurora (FF 8.0)
255 and 9 bonus points out of a total of 384 points for Palemoon 5.0 (modified FF 5.0)
141 and 5 bonus points out of a total of 450 points for Internet Explorer 9.0
All of those on Vista Home edition. I normally run FF 6 on Ubuntu 11.04. Not tested that one yet.

hehe yeah 600,000k as the task manager shows it 
So far, I haven't closed Firefox 7 beta since I installed it, and I'm hovering around 300,000k so far.

And here is the results for FF 6.0 and Chromium 12 on Ubuntu 11.04. I kept the others in for easy comparison.

I installed Aurora and it has been running nicely. Memory is down over 50%.
I really notice it when I've let it sit for a few hours, then come back. Firefox 5 would be sluggish until I restarted it.
