Holy Memory Leak Batman

Jan 24, 2011 22:37

So I am, as usual, behind the times. I just upgraded my home and work machines to Chrome. Not that I really hated Firefox but damn if Firefox running on Vista 64-bit didn't have a memory leak the size of a manhole cover. From a fresh reboot my Vista machine would have ~32% of system resource used. I would start Firefox and it would go up to ~38%. Let it sit over night and the next morning I would often be above 50% resources used. If GFWTR was also log in 24 hours after a reboot the system would be approaching 80% resources used. With Chrome the next morning with both of us log in where only in the 40's. I'll be interested to see how much better Chrome runs on my netbook when I get a chance to install it.
