I've got an Asus EEEpc with 2GB of RAM and 4GB swap and I always have Firefox open with 80+ tabs in 4+ windows. After a week or so it'll get really slow when loading and would crash in a day or two if usage continued, so I just kill it and it reloads everything.

This "more than a few tabs" or "more than an hour or two" is craziness? What is your friend running?



See, the problem here is that I do that with Opera on my EEEpc too, except I only have a gig of ram, no swap, and I don't have to kill it every week.

Firefox just doesn't cut it.


Sure, that I'd believe.

What OS are you in? How long do you keep it running like this? Sounds good.


I'm using Fedora 15^, and I think Opera has been running for approximately 3 weeks right now (my current uptime).

^ with Awesome WM, not those gnome/unity/kde memory pigs ;)
