I use an AMD 1.6 GHZ powered netbook with 2GB RAM running Arch Linux. Chromium is unbearably slow after opening a few tabs. Firefox chugs along just fine.

- pekk 14y agoI have never seen that on many systems, perhaps Arch has been configured in a strange way.
- moystard 14y agoI have always noted that behavior, Chrome has a better memory management with a few tabs opened, but if you start opening a bunch of them, then Firefox clearly wins the memory battle.
- mtgx 14y agoThat's probably because it shares memory between tab processes, since each tab is not in its own sandbox like in Chrome. Personally, I prefer the security of tab sandboxes.
