Re: Tweaking for Fun/Speed - Fx v3 Series
I might argue that the very first one in the list (config.trim_on_minimize) will actually slow you down some rather than speed up things (but I won't ;D)--it sort of contravenes Firefox's desire to be a memory hog (Fx2 anyway); freeing and getting memory is at least some administrative overhead versus simply not freeing it at all.
I actually played around with this some because I noticed a problem with my minimize button ceasing to function after awhile when this preference was on/true. First I thought it might be a conflict with some extension, so I played with it in a vanilla Fx: same thing after awhile. Oddly, the Minimize option in the control menu still worked fine even when the button didn't. But this was some releases ago, and I found that just doing a restart when I felt memory consumption exceeded my desired level worked fine. However, the "memory hog" problem is supposed to be resolved (?) in Fx3... here's hopin'. |
