Safari consumes memory

Dear Everyone,
I have a rather common issue about Safari eating my memory as usage progresses. I have read a few posts on forum on other sites and the topic seem to stop at some point and I am unable to find a resolution (so here I am!).
The version of Safari I am using is 4.0.4 (6531.21.10). The OS is 10.6.2. When I am first browsing pages I notice on my iStat that the browser is consuming 84 mb memory. Then a few hours later, say you go to the Apple movie trailers, Suunto watch campaign website, BBC etc, memory would shoot up to 284 mb. The average number of tabs I would have open would be 4 or 5. Now if Safari needs more memory to run the extra web applications and tabs then I understand. However, if you close these down to one tab with a blank page the difference after a few minutes is only 5-10mb. If I reset the cache and Safari (with all the boxes ticked) this does not make much difference. So me thinks that something gets stuck in memory that does not seem to flush out when these pages are closed. The only other alternative is to close the browser and start again but I was wondering whether there was another way because after the blank page scenario if you open some new tabs and go other websites the memory comsumed is roughly the same (give or take another 10-20mb depending which site you navigated to.)
BTW I am operating Safari in 32 bit mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Vnayak55

Hi,
Try maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Relaunch Safari.

  • Safari consuming memory

    Downloaded Yosemite and every time I open safari, it consumes my memory. I clear my memory with memory clean and it recovers but then safari consumes it again.
    Please advise.

    Good for you!
    How did you find that out? Did you use the method of elimination? I should do some testing as well, but I have 46 extensions - how should I approach this realistically?

  • Safari consuming memory twice as fast in Lion

    8GB of RAM is not what it used to be.
    I'm having to quit Safari every few hours to clear some space.
    Anyone else?

  • Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

    Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?
    tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
    Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
    < 90885669274.0000 >
    1 row found.

    Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Total = 17524
    Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Indexes:
    Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
      Total index bytes = 5618
    Total = 23142
    Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
    < 23142.0000000000 >
    1 row found.
    In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

  • Physical Oracle connections consume memory continuously

    I am running Oracle Database 10.2.0.1 on a Solaris x86-64bit system. We have recently stumbled upon an issue where the physical Oracle DB connections' footprint continues to grow over time. If you do a 'ps' you'll see:
    oracle 13074 1 0 Nov 27 ? 0:00 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13076 1 1 Nov 27 ? 146:20 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13459 1 1 Nov 27 ? 144:39 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13463 1 1 Nov 27 ? 144:22 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13457 1 0 Nov 27 ? 0:00 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 19847 1 0 Nov 11 ? 0:00 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13088 1 1 Nov 27 ? 145:52 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 19925 1 0 Nov 11 ? 0:19 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    oracle 13461 1 1 Nov 27 ? 144:43 oracleAMS (LOCAL=NO)
    The connections that seem to be taking up the most memory also have a large value in the 'TIME' column of the output from 'ps'.
    Output from top:
    13463 oracle 11 49 0 2646M 2561M sleep 144:22 0.46% oracle
    13465 oracle 11 59 0 2646M 2561M sleep 144:35 0.27% oracle
    13461 oracle 11 59 0 2645M 2560M sleep 144:43 0.74% oracle
    13459 oracle 11 49 0 2645M 2560M sleep 144:40 0.59% oracle
    13088 oracle 11 59 0 2645M 2560M cpu/0 145:52 0.40% oracle
    13076 oracle 11 59 0 2645M 2560M sleep 146:20 0.28% oracle
    13090 oracle 11 59 0 2645M 2559M sleep 143:47 0.53% oracle
    Notice the size column that these connections are consuming ~2.5 GB of RAM each, but they start out around 800M.
    We've looked through our application code and have been unable to find any glaring coding issues (i.e. failure to close a PreparedStatement or ResultSet). Does anyone know if there is/was a bug in the version of Oracle we're using that would cause this to happen? Has anyone else seen this issue?
    Any feedback is greatly apprecaited!

    Generally, a ideal connection/session(can have more than one connection) uses .5mb memory to hold session related information and then depending upon what your sessions are doing (sql queries) it consumes memory ; one of the memory parameter pga_aggregate_target you might want to take a look and investigate. See following query it might give you some more insight.
    SELECT vses.username || ':' || vsst.SID || ',' || vses.serial# username,
    vstt.NAME, MAX (vsst.VALUE) VALUE
    FROM v$sesstat vsst, v$statname vstt, v$session vses
    WHERE vstt.statistic# = vsst.statistic#
    AND vsst.SID = vses.SID
    AND vstt.NAME IN
    ('session pga memory', 'session pga memory max',
    'session uga memory', 'session uga memory max',
    'session cursor cache count', 'session cursor cache hits',
    'session stored procedure space', 'opened cursors current',
    'opened cursors cumulative')
    AND vses.username IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY grouping sets( vses.username), vsst.SID, vses.serial#, vstt.NAME
    ORDER BY vses.username, vsst.SID, vses.serial#, vstt.NAME;

  • Do uninstalled apps appearing on app world consume memory

    Hi folks,
    I see every uninstalled app in a list on my Curve 9300. I have not been able to delete those entries (is there a way to clean up this list?)
    My question is: These apps do consume memory on my device?
    (if I totalize the size of the apps it does not match the memoty consumed)
    thank you for your answers
    Sergio @ Lima

    No, only the apps themselves are saved on your computer. A backup will contain your apps content and settings, but if you remove an app from the iPad then it will no longer be included in future backups (and you can only restore the whole iPad from a backup, you can't restore individual apps).

  • Temporarily disable many of extensions will consume memory when using firefox ?

    If temporarily disable some extensions, would be used to reduce firefox memory usage by it? Or after installation is complete, whether open or close these extensions , it all will consume memory.

    Disabled extensions shouldn't use extra memory, but most extensions don't use much memory anyway.
    You can try to compare via the about:memory page (open that page via the location bar like a website).

  • Media Server Consuming Memory

    My project is forwarding an RTMP stream to an RTMFP (multicast stream) using a server action script. In forwarding this stream, the AMSCore process keeps consuming memory. This consumption of memory requires the system to be rebooted repeated. How can this be prevented?

    I did not think I could use the sample multicast application with my
    project's software. Instead,  I compared the outbound NetConnection and
    NetStream code in the sample application with the outbound NetConnection
    and NetStream code in my project's multicast server actionscript. One of
    differences I discovered is that my project's application connected to the
    rtmfp group with the following call:
    nc_connect..connect("rtmfp:");
    while the sample called:
    nc.connect(resetUriProtocol(streamContext.client.uri, "rtmfp"));
    Therefore, in my project's actionscript, I replaced connection to the
    "rtmfp:" serverless group with a connection to the application uri:
    net_connect.connect("rtmfp://127.0.0.1:" + port + "/" + application.name)
    This change fixed the excessive memory consumption. So, why does the
    connection to serverless network endpoint consume memory on Windows Server
    2008 R2 to the point that all of the virtual memory is used or it crashes
    the system?

  • Safari eating memory...yes even good old Safari!

    I have noticed this only recently, but activies monitor show a large amount of memory consumed by safari and safari web content and the name of websites I'm browsing. (http://discussions.apple.com and mail.google.com  etc. ) Even when only 2-3 tabs are opened. And the first time I noticed that my memory pressure has turned orange.
    Can I prevent this.
    I know I should upgrade RAM but I haven't suffered from this issue before and 4GB ram is quite enough for me

    I've done lots of etrechecking my self , removed useless plugins, extensions, launch agents , daemons and what not! I even had an adware...!
    Anyways,

    Apple Portables: Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive

  • HT4993 Do pictures in photo stream consume memory?

    I want to know if pictures stored in the photo stream consume phone memory

    If you mean content storage, yes.

  • Safari Consuming All CPU Power

    I just recently noticed that Safari seems to be taking a lot more processing power while browsing.
    When I click on a link, the fans start spinning faster, the little colored wheel cursor appears and I can see in Activity Monitor that the CPU usage for Safari goes to 100%.
    This happens every time I click on a link. It even happens if I hit the back button. It happened while I was typing in the post, since My Yahoo web page automatically refreshed on another tab.
    As you can see, I have a dual Power Mac G5 2.5 GHz with 4.5 MBytes of memory.
    This just started happening yesterday. I've never seen this before. From my previous PC days, I would say that I picked up a virus or some kind of Spyware.

    Over the last several weeks, I too have been noticing Safari taking up more system resources than it had in the past. I upgraded to Tiger the day it came out (from 10.2) and only began noticing this problem in early August. Not only have I seen an increase in CPU usage when running Safari, but I've also seen an increase over time of RAM usage. When I restart, RAM usage is under 30% with iCal, Address Book, iTunes, Mail, NetNewsWire, and a weather app running. Later that day after having browsed and done many other actions with only those basic apps running, RAM usage stays at or slightly above 50%. It often pegs out at 65% and again after restarting and re-opening those apps back up with the exception of Safari, RAM usage remains far below 50%. With my meager 800mhz processor, and all the memory leaking and CPU hogging going on, the fan is running much more frequently than it should.

  • Safari consuming 80% + CPU

    On our PowerBook G4 - we've noticed that Safari seems to be consuming more and more CPU lately. Restarting Safari if it's been running for more than a few days, or even rebooting the PowerBook helped in the past when we had this issue, but not anymore. Even from a fresh reboot, with no other applications running, launching Safari (which opens Apple's welcome page) consumes 90% or more CPU.
    I've tried the following:
    - removed the ~/Library/Caches/Safari folder
    - removed the ~/Library/Safari/Icons folder
    - removed the comp.apple.Safari.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences folder
    - resetting Safari
    No effect. This machine is still running Safari 2.0.4.
    It's interesting to note that if I switch to another user, their CPU usage is fine when running Safari... which makes it an issue in the User folder, instead of a further system corruption or issue. But I'm at a loss for what else to do to the "affected" user's folder to clean this up. Running FireFox is fine.
    I thought maybe it was the Internet-Plugins, so I moved them to the desktop and launched Safari, same issue...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    I have found the issue...
    After trying a fresh install on an external drive and migrating the user accounts - the issue was still there, meaning it was definitely a User account issue.
    I created a user called "test" and copied the folders from the affected User's Library folder one by one, restarting Safari each time to check CPU usage. Once I copied over the "Syndication" folder and started Safari, the issue was reproduced.
    Returning to my affected user account, I moved this folder to t he desktop - fired up Safari and after a brief blip of CPU usage the CPU usage settled right down and stays there. A new "Syndication" folder was created in it's place and now Safari behaves.
    In the Syndication folder that I moved, the following were the contents:
    - Damaged Database
    - Damaged Database #2
    - Database3
    - DotMacSyncCache
    I had seen these before and assumed (wrongly) that the creation of a new file might mean that the damaged ones were no longer in the picture. The new folder created 1 file so far, called "Database 3", apparently it knows some history from somewhere.
    I think I can delete these, but I'll do some research on that before I do, but thought I'd update this in case my findings help someone else. If you know more details on what these do - feel free to update this thread further.
    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. This was a new one for me for sure.

  • Users moved out of POWL but still it is running and consume memory.

    We are on SRM6.0 and we have issues with POWL session close. Some users runs POWL w/o any selection which inturns run the POWL forever. While users logoff from the system but still the POWL is running in system and consume lots of memory in system. I am looking the ways to kills the session automatically once the users logoff or close the portal. Do let me know if you have any inputs.
    Thanks, Sachin

    Hi Sachin
    SAP Note 1134640 - SRM 6.0 / 7.0 POWL: no refresh when
    clicking on query name
    SAP Note 1134761 - SRM 6.0 / 7.0 POWL: Display 'Query has

    regarding your BBP_DOCUMENT_tab- invoice entry - leave as it is . it may harm your business object. you can delete it after some 2 years. Even SAP dont recommend to delete. some accident happen during that time. SRM system is very robust in this matter. CLean job verifies the docuemnt .if any changes happened by the enduser before running the clean job. it makes the entry. Indeed it is not SAP problem. whenever enduser /procurement department made mistake , this entries are sticked permanently. This is my opinion.
    regarding your  new UOM query
    SMOF_DOWNLOAD report helps to transfer ..
    whenever you change any  UOM  on Material master and immediately updates in SRM by CRM*table settings.

  • 10.6.8 password service consuming memory

    I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.8 Server. The password service has suddenly started consuming large amounts of memory - 5.1GB of real memory and almost 40GB of virtual - this has spilled over into the swap space and this is growing at about 2GB per day.
    I am up to date will all software updates. I have unloaded/stopped all third party software. This box is just running the Open Directory and some file shares.
    Any suggestions on a fix would be greatly appreciated.
