Performance decrease

Dec 22, 2011 7:05pm SilverSurfer User	Hi! Since a couple of weeks I experience a terrible performance decrease of Firefox. The memory consumption (often to >1GB with one single tab open) and CPU consumption of Firefox (8, 9, 10a, 11a, 12n) substantially increase, browsing speed decreases dramatically. about:memory shows huge parts (>50%) in the js section. Manual/Cycle Garbage Collections or "Minimize Memory Usage" don't help, only a Browser restart does. So far I cannot determine whether the reason behind this is: - Firefox - Greasemonkey - GM_config - or your script Does anybody else experience a similar behavior? Thanks and greets

Dec 23, 2011 12:16am DustinLuck Script's Author	I started a new profile. The memory usage in about:memory for the js section was: Clean profile: 26% - 48% Greasemonkey (no extensions): 39% - 60% Greasemonkey (w/ this script): 36% - 62% A better measure may be the actual amount of memory used though. I did not see the memory usage get anywhere near 1GB. It stayed below 200K. How long does it take before you start seeing the performance decrease and high memory consumption?

Maybe it has to do more with Firefox. I'm currently testing also with FF 7.0.1, and it feels a little better. Next may be also worth a try is to go back with Greasemonkey versions (before automatic script version updates).
