Hi; I responded to the thread entitled "Flash 10.1 uses 90%+ CPU" by saying: "In any case, I get the same problem you describe when I simply do a restart after installation. I have found, on the other had, that if I do a full shutdown and a cold boot my CPU and Memory utilization drops back to normal." The OP tried and it did not help him solve his problem. The re-booting solution has not been an one-off thing that might have worked by accident. I have been using it through at least 2 Fedora versions and probably 10-15 upgrades. After a simple re-start my Firefox shoots up to about 90% CPU usage and shows 100% memory use. When I close down and reboot, FireFox drops to 0% to 10% usage with less than 50% memory usage. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2 Gb memory. Why would rebooting vs restarting make a difference? Any suggestions? -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
