Thank you Joe Z, Tim and Richard E. Firefox just starting freezing.

I expect the above is at least partly a computation involving zswap. about:performance takes me to about:processes . Main, google and yahoo mail tabs seem to be taking the most CPU and memory, 20% 618MB, 0.6% 411MG and 0.18% 159MB . The latter two occasionally flicker to about 20% CPU. No smoking gun.

Apparently there is a tree for each tab. I have a lot of tabs. This took me about an hour. When firefox is frozen, I cannot scroll it nor copy from it. I have to wait for a good second. Firefox does not take gnome with it. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I was just thinking about the life of a pumpkin.
