Web Process + Safari now hogging 50-75% more memory than Safari 5.0.5 did

Now that Apple has split Safari into two processes — Web Process (handles page loads and other traffic) and Safari (handles interface, bookmarks, history, etc) — these two processes together are using 50% to 75% more memory than Safari did before the upgrade to 5.1.
Three days ago, the most RAM I'd ever seen Safari hog (after several hours of surfing multiple tabs) was 1.1GB (still way more than it needed, once back down to 3 or 4 tabs).
Today, after surfing only an hour:
WebProcess 1.3GB
Safari           552MB
Anyone else seeing this? And anyone have ideas about limiting this memory hogging?

Well, to add a little more frustraton to this thread, a few weeks ago, when I first saw all the bugginess with this "update", I called Apple, was handed up to a higher-level tech person. He told me they were aware of all these problems, and promised me a fix would be released "ASAP".  Well, a few weeks later, & of course, no fix. About a week ago, I called again, & was handed to a different higher-level guy, but this time he gave the same tired, "you should disable all your extensions & plug-ins" blah, blah, blah...   And worse, he told me that he's heard nothing from users about issues with Safari!!!
Well, I then asked him if the problem really was one or some of the add-ons, why couldn't Apple just give us a list of at least some of the more popular ones that don't work. Why should ever single user have to go thru a one by one, trial & error, add one, then restart, then another, etc, since Apple could just do it, & let us know. Of course, that's never happened, so everyone has been trying anything they can, &/or resorting to using other browsers, & posting here & other places. I sure hope Apple quits stonewalling everyone, you would think they would address this, either by fixing it quickly, or at least letting everyone know they are aware of it, and that a fix will be coming, but pretending they no see, no hear nothing, and it's all in our heads, well, ...... it shucks.

  • Exchange 2013 - The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the configured threshold

    Noticed at about noon that no emails had been received all day. Began to investigate and found that the MS Exchange Transport service had been set to deny email submission because it was using too much memory on the server (91%). 
    The error message makes me think that we may have been getting used by malware or something similar.“The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the
    configured threshold.” 
    There are also several warning messages that list particular IP addresses and say that a connection from that IP was denied because there were already the maximum number of connections (20). 
    From what I can tell, all of the IP addresses are from Taiwan. 
    The time period for which some emails may be missing is from close of business yesterday ( 4/3/2014) through about 12:45 today (4/4/2014). 
    From the time I spent reading and trying to figure out the error, I think we may need to readjust our throttling policies to prevent this from happening. 
    The exchange server is currently running at 90%+ CPU and 50%+ memory usage the majority of the time, and I’m not sure how to fix it.
    Also, I cannot get into EMS I get a access denied message from the destination computer. (Exchange server) I want to get into there to change the throttling policy back to default, since we disabled it.
    The Error reads:
    The WinRM client cannot process the request. The WinRM client tried to use Kerberos authentication mechanism, but the destination computer <Exchange> returned an 'access denied' error. Change the configuration to allow Kerberos authentication
    mechanism to be used or specify one of the authentication mechanism supported by the server. (How do I do this?) To use Kerberos, specify the local computer name as the remote destination. (I'm trying to use EMS while logged into the local Exchange server)
    Also verify that the client computer and the destination computer are joined to a domain. (Exchange is on our domain, and the computer trying to connect is the same computer) To use basic, specify the local computer name as the remote destination, specify
    Basic authentication and provide user mane and password. Possible authentication mechanisms reported by server.

    I assumed control of this exchange system already in place and I do not have much experience with exchange 2013 or server 2012. I do know 2008, but that doesn't help very much in this situation.
    Recent changes to the system:
    About three days ago we switch our sessions policy to allow many more connections, and I believe this caused the issue. This is what I changed it to:
    Made the registry DWORD (32-bit) "Maximum Allowed Sessions Per User" and modified the value to 1000. Location of registry change @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem
    I just changed it to 10 from the 1000. I'm hoping this solves this. So far no.
    Also, I am not the best in the shell or command line interfaces. Any help would be wonderful!

    Hi,
    Yes, could be hardware performance issue. Try recycle the Transport process and see if the issue persists.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 consumes more memory than just FF 7.0!

    You have got to be kidding me, Mozilla! You claimed that Firefox 7.0 would consume less memory than its predecessors. Well, FF7.0 does consume less memory, but when I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1 and used the browser, it now consumes MORE memory than FF7.0 did before, and it is now at nearly 300,000 KB to nearly 500,000 KB! And that was on my first use! The second or other times I used it, Firefox 7.0.1 only consumes less memory, than the first time I used the browser! Mozilla, when will you wise up and fix the memory leaks again?

    That is nothing, my Firefox 7.0.1 consumes 2.47GB (2 473 805 KB to be exact) ram with just 2 open tabs...
    My system is with 8GB ram and I'm running out of memory...
    Most of the time when I browse, the pages load slowly, firefox freezes during scrolling (and assortment of other problems)

  • Why are my processed images now sharper in the Library mode than in Develop mode (LR5)?

    In LR 5. Recently I noticed my processed images are sharper in the Library mode than in the Develop mode. This makes doing adjustments difficult because I can't really tell the effect of the adjustments.
    PC, i7, 24GB RAM.
    I've tried purging the Camera Raw cache. It's been suggested to purge the Preview cache but I cannot find the Preview cache file. It's also been suggested to clear the Preferences but those file don't show up in a search either even though my PC search is set up to show hidden files and folders.
    Any solutions?

    Images can be different between the camera-rendered preview you see before Import and the default Adobe rendering, but after import the thumbnail in the LR grid view shouldn’t be a different tone than the image in the main area.  Is that what you’re saying you’re seeing?
    Can you show us a screenshot with both the thumbnail filmstrip and the central area visible as well as the histogram?

  • Can oracle use more memory than pga+sga

    Hi Experts,
    If I have set pga 1GB and SGA 2GB then Could oracle use more than 3GB RAM from OS.
    Thanks,
    Please Ignore if seems to be very basic question..

    Yes.
    The PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is only a target. On a busy system, a system with frequently changing SQL patterns , Oracle may sometimes attempt to allocate a higher value.
    I presume that you are on 32-bit Windows. You will hit ORA-4030 errors occassionally because Oracle on Windows is a single process (multi-threaded) and Windows limits the memory the process can address.
    I suggest that you reduce your P_A_T.

    Do I need to do some kernel configuration?

    Memory is not fixed for Oracle. You do not assign x GB of RAM to Oracle and the database will only use that much and no more.
    The Oracle database engine consists of a number of processes. Each of these need a data segment. Each data segment (private process memory) can grow and shrink. And these data segments do not form part of the x GB of RAM that was assigned to Oracle's SGA (shared memory).
    The number of these processes differ from instance to instance. There are management processes that Oracle will run from time to time. There is a job processing pool, a shared server processing pool and a parallel query processing pool. These can also grow and shrink. And on an instance running several jobs (and one that uses PQ processing), there will be more running processes than on another instances. Thus more private process memory will be used and less free server memory will be available on that server.
    A single dedicated server process (created by the Listener to service a client connection) can also consume all available server memory - by running poorly designed and written PL/SQL bulk processing code that results in the private process memory of that dedicated process to continually grow. Hopefully this is not the case - but the fact is that a single server process can consume all available free server memory and more.
    As the number of processes differ from RAC instance to RAC instance, it is the norm to see different amounts of memory utilisation on RAC nodes. Memory utilisation depends on the processing that RAC instance is currently doing.

  • How do I create a web site using already .doc files?  More words than photo

    I really want not to write everything on the iweb 08 format, but select, copy and edit my documents already written in .doc, or text, or ppt.
    How do I do this? And, is it possible to edit them when they are in the iweb page?
    Thanks,
    María Cristina

    You've posted this question in the iWeb 09 forum, but the same answer will work for both versions.
    All you need to do is to choose which template type meets your needs and then copy/paste the text from your .doc or whatever document, into a text field on the page.
    I would open the word documents with a text editor like Textwrangler so that all of the hidden Microsoft formatting data (font and paragraph info) is removed from the text. After pasting the text into the iWeb text box I'd change the font to one of the Web fonts for compatibility.
    All of the text on an iWeb page remains editable for future changes.

  • Can I publish a web page from my Mac with something more sophisticated than I-Web for my business?

    I want to construct a web page for my business. I-Web seems to be less sophisticated.  I wanted to use SiteBuilder by Yahoo, but Mac is not compatable. I have looked and have not found much, and that suggests that there are no tools to publish a web page other than I-Web.

    I don't use any of the free editors but a Google search resulted in several being available. Since they are free you could try them and stick with the one that best works for you.http://webdesign.about.com/od/macintoshhtmleditors/tp/free-macintosh-editors.htm

  • WHy does Plug-in -contianter use 1-1/ times more memory than FF itself

    So rather than help me fix my problems with 3.6 which was working fine except for a little thing I moved ups to 11.2 because it was suppose to be so much better. Well now Plug-in -container is using nearly 1/2 gig of memory and climbing. FF is using300K. I'm not a gamer. Best i do is YouTube.
    So can i disable the plug in and somebody remind me how i did that in 3.6. You go into :about:config" right. Then What :)

    Basically "plugin-container" is nothing more than a place for plugins such as Flash, quicktime, etc. to sit. That way if they crash, instead of bringing down the Firefox window, just the plugin crashes. So, if you get high memory usage in the plugin-container, it is the fault of those plugins. You could disable the process, but that would just make the Firefox.exe process use that much more RAM.
    What you can try doing is this:
    Alot of things nowadays are hardware accelerated, which means they try to use your graphics card to help speed things up. Try updating your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Also, some extensions can cause problems with memory usage as well. Type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on.

  • Why acrobat 9 pro take 6 time more memory than acrobat 8 pro ?

    I have tested acrobat 9 pro on a web capture pages (local files) and did the same with acrobat 8 pro.
    At start acrobat 9 use 260 ko ram instead of 43 ko for acrobat 8.
    the capture could never end with acrobat 9 because it eat more than 1 600 ko ram and i have an error : not enough memory.
    acrobat 8 could finish the job with 400 ko memory used.
    The configuration of the 2 captures are the same.
    The result of the capture is different : acrobat 8 add lot of pages return after images.
    Could i optimize ram use in acrobat 9 ?

    Good day,
    I'd like to confirm a few things:
    What action/activity are you performing in Acrobat when it crashes?
    Is the crash consistent at the same point?
    You stated in the subject '..after upgrading to 10.6.7'
    What OS was on your iMac when you purchased it?
    Was this problem occuring when using an earlier verion of 10.6.x?
    Have you applied to font update Apple released to address some of the problems they introduced with 10.6.7?
    Did you perform a clean install of Acrobat on your iMac after you purchased it or was the application transferred in some way?
    I hope we can get this resolved for you!

  • Does Tiger use a lot more memory than Panther

    Hopefully this is my last question before I upgrade. I dont know if I want to do it if Tiger is not as efficient.

    My sister has an older iMac with basically the same processor you have. You actually have two processors. Her iMac has 768mb of ram. She is running 10.4.5 and everything operates just fine.
    One thing I noticed is with Dashboard, even though the Widgets are not actively displayed on the desktop they still will access the processors, and can slow your machine down. You can check this with Activity Monitor. If you are going to do processor intensive tasks, close all widgets, or there is now a widget which will allow you to quit the Dashboard, this will disable all widgets. Also some widgets will access the internet intermittently (news feeds, weather maps and many others) if you have dial-up internet and again if the widgets are not closed, these will impact the speed of your browser and downloads.
    For myself, Tiger has been extremely stable and have not had a single crash of the operating system. I upgraded last May so almost one year.
    hope this helps

  • Camera takes more memory than it should

    I deleted a load of music and photos to update to the ISO 8 and half way through the update it cut out and restarted my phone
    found out the reason it stopped was because i don't have enough memory on my phone (which I did before the update)
    the culprit seems seems to be my camera roll. All I have is 284 things in it (inc vids and pics) and that takes up 4.1gb of memory. I can't remember what the memory was before it cut out but it can't have been that much because I was able to initially start the update
    is there anything I can do without connecting to iTunes on my laptop as my laptop is broke and if I plug my iphone into my girlfriends then my phone will be wiped (that's what I presume anyway as it happened before)
    thanks for taking the time to read this and any help will be greatly appreciated

    That MacBook Pro should be plenty of power for iMovie. However, she will likely need an external drive to hold her Events.
    Assuming that she has a high definition AVCHD camcorder, the camcorder will record in a highly compressed format called AVCHD. It will about 1 full frame of high definition video per second. The rest of the frames contain information like "what has changed since the last frame?", what is the direction of motion?, etc.
    This is great for capture, but not so good for editing, because you might want to edit starting at one of the compressed frames.
    When you import AVCHD to iMovie, it converts all the frames into full frames. This way you can edit any frame without a big load on the processor. This means that when you import, the file size will be about 10x bigger than it was on the camera.
    She will need an external drive. It must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled). You can buy them off the shelf like this, or you can buy a FAT32 drive and reformat it with Disk Utility.
    I recommend that you start with a 1TB drive that connects with Firewire 800, FW400, or USB.

  • Usage showing more memory than is accounted for

    how do i get rid of 'other' storage bloating?

    Other is email, text messages, and the stuff that apps use in the background, like when you save your place in a game.  You can try deleting old email and text messages.  Specifically if people send you pictures in text messages and as attachments. 
    Other than that, yes you need to restore your phone as new and do not restore from a backup, the backup will put the "Other" stuff right back on your phone.

  • How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library  i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

    how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library.  i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
    A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
    Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the  leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.
