noob Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 As we all know that Firefox consumes a lot of memory and this consumption is about 35000K high sometimes on my PC.Now how would you like if this consumption went down to a few KB?? Yes Firefox consuming just 200K?That would be phenominal. Just extract the archive and run the Firefox Ultimate Optimizer.exe.Then check how firefox is consuming a few KB of memory in the Taskmanager.This also works with Firefox 3.0 Beta 2!!FirefoxUltimateOptimizer.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Abolutly no difference trying it here. Except for the extra half-meg the optimizer took up.But I am using firefox portable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cro-man Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Works like a charm for me ,from 30000 to 300. Thnx for share :thumbsup_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningfool Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) umm ok...but how exactly does it work? if its just dumping most of firefox's memory to your paging file, then all youre accomplishing is significantly slowing firefox in exchange for a few megs of RAM. not only that, but i always disable my paging file and leave everything in memory. if it still works for me then the developers got really creative with prefetch or memory management.EDIT: program didnt do a thing for me. so its either trying to access a paging file i dont have, or it cant handle my custom SSE2 build of firefox Edited January 20, 2008 by runningfool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnus Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) O_o It worked, but like runningfool said, I'm sure its just dumping it to the page file.However, this would be a good tool on an older system with less than 256mb of ram though. Say, and old laptop or something. I will definitely hold on to this for the future because it is pretty damn cool if you ask me Edited January 22, 2008 by cygnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sull Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Rick are you noticing any slow downs in firefox now ?I am just trying to decide if this is worth it ?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningfool Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 all this does is shift the burden of firefox from memory to the paging file. unless you somehow have the worlds fastest solid-state hard drive, you WILL notice slower performance from firefox.

Sull Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Well I do have an SSD HD, though not the worlds fastest. Maybe I wil try.EDIT:my custom SSE2 buildTell me more ?Thanks Edited February 12, 2008 by Sull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 all this does is shift the burden of firefox from memory to the paging file. unless you somehow have the worlds fastest solid-state hard drive, you WILL notice slower performance from firefox.I too agree ... its ok to see 324K in task manager .. coolbut practically its working somewhere else then. if its not showing memory footage at firefox.exethen its using something else as simple as that. so in the end overall its the same. :tired: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
