ThierryI have been running Iceweasel in the background for the last 3 days. I am running approx 3% swap (on 1 GB allocated) and according to top Firefox-bin uses ~10.6% mem. This is just running FF in the background (minimised) Awhat are you doing that we're not? those figures look great to me.Maybe it's because I am a Republican, and therefore God likes me. But I doubt it... What version of Iceweasel are you running?

Thanks for this thread I thought I was alone with my Iceweasel issues...Basically I'm running Lenny with optimized kernel but still low memory configuration (512MB) on a Dell Pentium III. Flash plugin (whatever the version) is always the root cause of my Iceweasel lock_up (due to swapping or other...) the number do not really matter but site such as MySpace [Music] cause this condition almost each time I connect there. This is really painful. I put all the possible addons/blocker/Flash versions but no success.
I tied FF, same. I tried another computer Pentium M, 1GB Memory and same happened...Well I'm a bit tired now, so I just kill my Iceweasel each it locks and restart. I think I will have a try of the suggested "ulimit -Sv 200000" because it just looks interesting and well spotted.
