First, I have ordered 16Gb of memory for my x140e. One of the Lenovo
forum experts has run this way in the past with no noticeable problems,
though he no longer uses the 140. The mem cards should come next week.
I will first test them out in my ole F32 system and make sure they don't
over heat things. Then put them in this system. An additional 8Gb will
pretty much eliminate my current swap usage. Did not see the need, yet,
to try out 32Gb,

In that scenario, I wouldn't expect Firefox to behave any differently
than if it was 24/7 rather than 24/5. When you suspend and resume the
PC, the software will be behaving as if it had always been running.
You'd have to have quit and restarted Firefox, itself, to behave any
differently.
Yep, I know that. Suspend does just that. Good and bad stuff restart
after resume. I like that for all the good things I have open. A
reboot, or even a log out/in takes 15 or so min to get back to running
shape. I avoid this time loss when I can.
Booting when I think I should by how many kernels I am behind versus
running. Right now almost 13 days since last boot, and that is a
short time for me.
I can't remember the last time I logged off.
I've tried that kind of thing in the past, and something always goes
haywire. e.g. I'll have a fight with the PC to get sound running,
again. It'll just fail, and won't run. And I'll either have to relog,
or reboot, to get things working again. There always seems to be a bug
somewhere.
I have, at times, ran a month before rebooting. And then because I was
3 kernels behind. Basically I write tech docs. Now dealing with online
editting, I hate. Terrible performance. I tend to download, edit, and
upload. For github and Windows cloud stuff.
So those background tabs tend to have things running along, and I do
have to figure out this earlyoom to see if it might help here.
I may be in the process of researching some purchase for me or my
wife. I may have half-a-dozen shopping pages open and they are
almost always badly behaving. Then there are those support forums
some vendors (like Lenovo currently) force us to use and they have
stuff running on them.
Anything other than flat static HTML is a major candidate for chewing
through your memory, CPU load, and network bandwidth. Pages that load
adverts may continually load new ones, perhaps multimedia ones. Some
pages may time-out on you.
Pages that try to be flashy and follow all the latest design trends
because authors and commerce have the Emperor's New Clothes attitude
are always going to be the worst (sales, news, gossip, etc). If you
look at their source code, they seem to be 5% content and 95% code,
most of it scripting upon scripting, for the sake of it rather than
needing it. It's just ripe for bad coding to run berserk on you.
That is why I want to try out earlyoom. Maybe get control over some of
this. maybe not. Worth a try.
Adblock Plus does stop a lot of this evil spawning. You don't load all
the Ad badness that leads to more performance badness.
Hopefully the memory boost will calm things down. Or at least until
Fedora36 eating up more memory.
Perhaps a octa-core? My x140e is a quad-core and it was a major
improvement on the duo-core x120e.
But I have not found an octa-core that meets my basic specs that starts
with CHEAP!
