# $FreeBSD: ports/www/seamonkey/Makefile,v 1.254 2006/10/14 08:53:36 marc= us Exp $ Hello. I have a long standing problem, resulting in high cpu usage with seamonke= y. The same apply to mozilla and firefox. Currently I'm running it on gnome2 2.16.1 but I've noticed it for the fir= st time on July 2006. At that time I was using 2.14, installed on the first day it was availabl= e on ports, on FreeBSD 6.1. Anyway I can't say this was introduced on 2.14 day zero (I'd say no, but = I'm really not sure). This is not present on versions shipped with gnome 2.12. This is how I can reproduce it on seamonkey or mozilla (for firefox you h= ave to adjust the keyboard shortcuts or use the mouse) 1) open top on a terminal and seamonkey 2) go to http://art.gnome.org/backgrounds/gnome/ 3) open in a new tab every image linking a "background" 4) go to the the first of the new opened tab 5) open in a new tab on every link on the gray box reporting "Avaliable R= esolution", then close the tab 6) repeat step 5 until all the tabs with link are closed and you reach th= e first one with a background image The previous steps are needed to have a number of images within subsequen= t tabs. So now you should have the first tab with the home page followed by a num= ber of tabs with images. The next 3 steps should be done and repeated *fast* until all the tabs ar= e closed but the first. 7) on the first tab containing an image press ctrl+s to open the save dia= log (choose a directory only the 1st time) 8) press alt+s to save the image 9) press ctrl+w to close the tab Check top. the cpu usage is high, even if you keep open only one window w= ithout tabs and point it to about:blank On 2.16, *very* rarely, it also crashes with this message, but I don't kn= ow if it's related to the same problem. -- Gtk-ERROR **: file gtkfilechooserdefault.c: line 7772 (gtk_file_choose= r_default_should_respond): assertion failed: (path !=3D NULL) -- aborting... -- Abort trap (core dumped) Feel free to ask whatever test could help! Cheers P.S. As it seems that there are some "reopening" post, I had to say that I als= o had the infamous "100% cpu nautilus usage" on 2.14. I use nautilus rarely so I'm not sure it's gone away. I don't know if it's useful but when it was happening, on ktrace I saw a = *lot* of gettimeofday, as someone else said in a nautilus thread. The same on seamonkey, with a very vary rapid growing ktace output. Maybe the problem is in a common underlying component? uname -v FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0: Mon Oct 23 06:18:57 CEST 2006 root@satanas= so.local.domain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SATANASSO =0A
