You conspicuously omit your hardware specifications; what CPU, how many
RAMs and how big is your swap partition?
Also, what kind of web pages are you browsing, Van, and are you using a
proper plugin such as uBO to filter ads and other junk that can use an
incredible amount of resources? Ad-blockers can really help with lower
end machines.
Yes, I was suspecting ads and other crud being run by firefox. Some web pages slow things down far more than others.
I didn't know of uBO. Is it the best ad blocker? How do I install it?
I keep gmail, twitter, and facebook tabs, one page from EIA, and one page from my own server open.
