- dudus 8y agoSwapping to what? Firefox uses just as much memory.
- xoa 8y agoSwapping to non-volatile storage? In the context of memory exhaustion I think it was reasonably clear gpp was talking about hitting virtual memory. Although these days faster SSDs make that not quite as dramatic a hit as it once was.
- jraph 8y agoSwapping on SSDs is not ideal though, because of limited number of writes. Is it still relevant with SSDs produced now by the way?
- cozzyd 8y agoSwapping as in paging.
- Caspy7 8y ago> Firefox uses just as much memory. This depends strongly on how many tabs you normally have open. At higher numbers Firefox tends to do much better.
