Recent xserver using a lot more RAM and is noticably slower.
To save battery life I lock both the graphics card and CPU into there lowest frequency settings. This was fine with little performance impact. However after a recent X server upgrade it has started using substantially more ram (around 5~ meg, use to be around 1). Also Firefox, and even Xterm and Vim now scroll very badly. Is there anything I can do about this, without raising the CPU/GFX frequency.
Thanks.
Bump.

Why is firefox 7b using a lot more memory and cpu on my computer?
I'm trying firefox 7 beta in a debian squeeze box. It is using a lot of RAM and CPU compared to previous releases of firefox(I've tried disabling all plugins and add-ons, not a big improvement). In the follow link here is a summary from about:memory, websites tabs opened at that time and the usage of % mem and cpu of my system: http://pastebin.com/8ji1gmLk
I'm using firefox on all my computers for a while now. So changing the browser is not an option for me now.
It did crash few times when loading a lot of tabs. Please let me know if there is another information that would be useful for fixing this. ThanksIs it using a significant amount more resources than 6.0 did?
I noticed 6.0 is a VAST resource hog over 5.0 and earlier. It's a very bad flaw in the new version, and has a lot of people upset.
What has me curious is whether this is a new resource problem or whether it was present in 6.0 and you are just not noticing it.
One suggestion: Don't run BETA versions of ANY software on "all your machines". Not when rolling back the version is not an option. That's generally a bad idea, since beta versions are likely to have bugs.
With FF, now, I would never let it automatically update. I don't trust their new update policies, so I would suggest you turn "auto updates" to OFF, and do it manually, only after you hear the new release is stable, which we know 6.0 is NOT. -
Early 2013 13" MacBook Pro runs slow and uses a lot of RAM, why and what can be done?
Problem description:
My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. I’m looking for suggestions on what I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine? Please help with anything that I can do to make it better! Thanks in advance!
I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions.
Here are the EntreCheck results:

Here's the new EtreCheck that I just ran. At a glance, it seems I may have missed deleting some things or they are stored in an additional location? I haven't jumped into anything yet to really test if there's a difference in performance for me. Once I do I will post that information.

Xorg.bin use a lot of ram Catalyst
Hello! After installing catalyst from Violo's repo i have noticed that Xorg.bin use a lot of ram(when i start the laptop it is 25mb but it keep rising till it get to 1.5gb in about 2h and I restart to free memory) This is on X-server 1.7 and now i downgrade to 1.16.4 but no effect. Can someone help me please. Thank you!
elll wrote:Do you know how to downgrade catalyst? Should i use pacman -U catalyst? [link]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … s#Warnings[/link] And if yes do i have to downgrade Xorg too because i allready do that?
The nicer way to do this is to use the [catalyst-stable-14.X] repository databases in this manner (where you replace X with the corresponding number):
[catalyst-stable-14.X]

No idea. Ask the AMD Developers upstream.

I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera. My keyboard works fine, but there is not any indication of connections when probing USB in "About this MAC". I have rebooted, executed a PRAM reset, and reloaded my OS, but to no avail I am out 2 of my 3 USB ports. I don't know how to diagnose the issue. Any ideas?
--kevinfromflagstaffWell, if you've tried different USB cords and devices and have reset your PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
And SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
I'd say your USB ports are shot - since they are an integral part of the logic board, replacing it will most likely be expensive. I'd still go for a definitive diagnosis at the Genius Bar. -
Generating peak file takes a lot of memory and is very slow
I recently tried editing a video on my somewhat older PC and it worked pretty fine. Everything ran smooth, and exporting/encoding would take 2 hours with CS4.
Then I remembered my laptop had some better specs (processor, RAM) than my PC, so I transferred my project to my laptop to try that out freeing up my PC for other stuff. But every time I try to open this project, Premiere Pro starts generating a peak file, that uses a lot of RAM (almost all 8GB of it) and slows everything down on the laptop. I tried reinstalling it, but it still persists.
So I tried making a new project, with different files, but it still happens.
This happens with video files I've captured using FRAPS, with a size up to 100GB.
Why does this happen on my laptop and not on my PC?
I can easily import large FRAPS recordings on my PC, without it freezing up and taking ages to generate a peak file.Please type your post into the forums. A copy/paste often leaves unwanted code through your post.

On my MacPro with10.7.3. while running a Python script in terminal, after a while, in several hours actually, I see a system message for the Terminal app: "There is no more application memory available on your startup disk". Both RAM and VM appear to be fine at this point, i.e. Python uses only 10G of 16G RAM and VM =238G with ~1TB free. Log reads: " macx-swapon FAILED - 12" multiple times. Furthermore, other terminal windows can be opened and commands run there. It only happens with larger inputs (text files), but with inputs that are about half the size everything runs smoothly. So the issue must be the memory indeed, but where to look for the problem/fix?

Have you tried with the --diag flag for diagnostics? Or changing verbose to 3 to show debug messages? Clearly one of three things is happening;
1. You ARE running out of disk space, but once it errors out the space is reclaimed if the output file is deleted on error. When it fails, does your output have the content generated up to the point of termination?
2. The application (Terminal) is allocated memory that you are exceeding
3. The task within Terminal is allocated memory that you are exceeding
I don't know anything about what this does but is there a way to maybe run a smaller test run of it? Something that takes 10 minutes? Just to see if it works. -

Calibrating the battery is always a good option. It is far too soon for battery life to drop down as much as you mentioned. Once you do the calibration see what happens and if there are no improvements get applecare to send you a new one.

Apple Contacts Uses a lot of RAM?
Since installing Mt Lion, and when running Contacts, I keep getting a lot of diskactivity, machine slows way down, and this one app uses 5GB of 6GB ram. What is going on?
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Whenever I try to scan more than a few pages at a time, my computer slows down to a crawl.
I think the issue stems from the Overview scan, which goes directly into memory...One overview scan took Image Capture's RAM usage from ~18 MBs to over 200. After a second Overview scan, RAM was up from 210.4 MBs to 390.2 MBs. A third takes it from 386.5 to 476.0.
Obviously, this is a major issue, as I only have 2 GBs of RAM. I know that I can get 4 GBs, although RAM prices are high at the moment, but the fact that this program still takes up so much is not good. Is there a way that I can "purge" old overview scans from RAM?

Does the new Mac Pros Universal Binary Programs use more RAM than the G5 PowerMac?
Overly simplificatiion.
And for many applications, they would still be compiled with 32-bit switch on, they don't need to address 4GB of memory. The GUI is still really not fully 64-bit even.
But code tricks and methods that worked well for the G4 and limited address space, those don't work as well and code is loaded and compiled differently (or should have been). The lack of L3 hurt some too and took a hit in performance and latency making for lack-luster memory performance sub-par from what was expected, and that could be be curied without moving to a new platform or design.
But the MacPro and G5 do probably need about 1.5GB of RAM to run smoothly, which means you have to install 2GB in the MacPro - just for basic use and needs. While waiting for a 2nd GB to ship from Apple my system was constantly using over 900MB from just casual use (web browsing, word processing, email).
I've never been able to figure out how much Rosetta needs, but it seems that it has its own address space and VM all its own.
With CS3 beta running well already, that was something I'm sure Apple wanted as well as all the users holding off - wouldn't surpise me if a lot of help and pressure was put to bear. -
Can I install more RAM, and a bigger HD ?
Dear Mac users:
i have a black macbook, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, 160GB 5400-rpm HD, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I use my macbook only for music (Logic Studio). I was wondering if I bring my computer to the apple store, is it possible to upgrade these internal components ? like adding more RAM, a bigger HD, better processor, better sound card maybe. I wanted to buy an iMac G5, or a MacBook Pro, but did not have enough cash. Now that I've had my macbook for a litlle year, and saved some cash, I would really like to invest by upgrading my computer.
Let me know the solutions I could have.
Thanks !!

What do you mean by end users ??
The memory is easy to upgrade, although you're already at the "official" limit supported by Apple. As was said earlier, 3GB does work as experienced by others.
The memory is easily upgraded with the only tools needed being a coin (to remove the battery) and a #00 (or #0) Phillips screwdriver to remove the RAM/HD shield. Apple considers the memory a user-upgradeable component. Most reasonably proficient people can do this themselves.
The hard drive is almost as easy. The removal/installation steps are almost the same as the memory. It requires the two tools I mentioned previously, plus a T8 Torx screwdriver. Previous Apple notebook computers required extensive disassembly and their hard drives weren't considered to be user replaceable.
The sound and memory aren't generally thought of as something that can be upgraded. Only the most serious hobbyists would even attempt it, and results are unpredictable. Someone with extensive lab experience might attempt it, and even an expert might not get it to all work.
If I could use car terms, memory and the hard drive in a MacBook are like tires. Just get one in the right size and it's almost guaranteed to be compatible save rare issues. The processor is like an engine. You might try to put in a V8 into an I4 engine bay. It would require a whole lot of work, the results may look really nasty, and it may not even work in the end. It's generally accepted that a used computer with the specs you want would be more cost effective than trying to install a different notebook computer processor in the current box you have. -
Should I keep my MacBook Pro or exchange it for more Ram and SSD space?
Hello,
I decided to purchase a MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display. I thought I would just bite the bullet and get it with the upgraded 16gb Ram and 512 SSD as I want this computer to last me at least 5 years. I don't know exactly what I will be using it for but potentially I will be running a small business with it as well as using it for photos, some videos and all the other things we all use everyday. This brought the total price tag up to about $2900 before tax. Way more than I wanted to spend, but again, I plan on this being my last computer purchase for at least 5 years...and this would be my only computer...not a secondary one but the primary one.
As I was asking the guy in Best Buy about any sales or discounts, he mentioned a MacBook Pro with retina display that was just retuned to the store by a lady that decided to go with a MacBook Air instead. It had been opened but not used and was in perfect condition. The sales manager said he could sell that one to me for $470 off the normal price. The problem was, it was the base model and only had 8gb Ram and 256gb SSD storage. So, I had the option of buying the computer I wanted...that I know would last me for years and years, for $2,900 OR buy the base model for $1,729. What would you do?
I decided to buy the base model as it was just to good a deal to pass up. Now, 2 days later, I don't know if I made the right decision. I know that 256gb of memory is not going to last me very long...especially considering how much more space modern software takes up nowadays...and its only getting worse. My solution is to just buy an external hard drive and store everything I don't immediately need on it. But I don't know if I'm being realistic as maybe it will be a major pain to constantly have to carry around an extra storage device. Then again, even if I had the 512 SSD model MacBook, I would still eventually run out of space and need an external drive. Has anyone else relied on an external device for their daily computing needs? Is it a major nuisance or easy to get by with?
My bigger concern is that it only has 8gb of Ram and can NOT be upgraded in the future. 8gb ram is fine right now, especially with the flash drive and i7 quad core processor, but in a couple years, I'm afraid it won't be enough and that ill be forced to purchase another computer. The sales manager said that because its a Mac and because of the "monster processor" that the 8gb of Ram will be more than enough for years to come. According to him, Macs require less Ram than PC's due to their operating system being much more efficient. (This is my first Mac so I'm a bit unfamiliar)
So this is my dellima, should I return the base model and buy the one I originally wanted or should I make do with the base model and be thankful for the great deal I was able to get?
Will the 8gb of Ram be enough in a few years? I realize that depends on what I'm using the computer for but, since I'm not sure what my needs will be in the next year, lets assume I'll be using it to run a small business as well as the typical storage of pictures and home videos, etc.
Bottom line, will the 8gb of ram be enough to prevent the need to buy another computer for another 5 years or so or do I need to suck it up, return the base model, pay the extra $1,100 and get the 16gb of ram I originally wanted?
Sorry for the long story, I just need some solid advice as money is tight and I want to make the right decision. I'd rather pay $1,100 extra now and not need to buy a new computer for 5-6 years than save the money now but have to buy a whole new computer in 1-2 years. If however, the 8gb ram will still make for a solid computer in a few years, I will gladly save the money.
Thanks in advance for your help. ;-)Generally (and in my opinion):
1) do not buy any computer you cannot replace the hard drive and the RAM in.
2) do NOT (EVER, EVER, EVER) purchase RAM or expended hard drive from any vendor (like Apple, Dell, etc). they mark up the RAM
purchase the lowest machine that will work for you and upgrade the RAM and hard drive down the road. Just look at the price Apple charges for the upgrade from 4GB to 8 GB:
Apple is charging the (4GB RAM + $100) for the 8GB upgrade. You can easily get 8GB for $100. later you should be able to get 8GB for $60.
Same thing for the hard drives:
Applis charging the price of (500GB + $100) for the 750GB drive. I just bought a 750GB notebook drive for $99
I, personally, would return the retina notebook for a MacBookPro that you can upgrade the hd and ram -
Photoshop is using 4-6GB of RAM and hanging up
Since the most recent cc update to 14.1.2 Ps is hanging up on simple tasks such as cropping images. Activity Monitor shows 4-6GB of RAM being used by Ps. This problem does not occur in CS6 which is using under 800 MB of RAM and cropping 200MB files without any problem.
Can someone make a recommendation on how to remedy this problem?
Thanks in Advance,
CelesteHi Mandhir,
Thanks for getting back to me. Is it common for Ps CC to utilize between
4-6GB of RAM? My Macbook Pro is maxed out at 8GBŠ Photoshop doesn't leave
much available at that utilization. CS6 only uses 800MBŠ I've never had a
problem editing images with that configuration.
All of the performance settings are optimized to the KB you sent over I
went through that over the weekend.
I think I may have found a bug as well in the crop tool. When I changed the
setting in the crop tool from 'fixed' to 'original' ratio Ps didn't hang up..
I can repeat the problemŠ
Set the crop tool to fixed W x H, add only one measurement such as 1600px w,
leave the height field empty (for example), set res to 96 DPI and then
