Optimizing Memory Usage
Posted on:August 28 2015
I've been working a bit on optimizing speed and memory usage of my not-yet-released free responsive website editor. I'm quite OK with the result so far:
Yes, that's right: the editor is using nearly 3 times less memory for editing a website then Firefox needs for merely showing the website! And it only contains a bit of text and images, no JavaScript or any other fancy stuff. Wondering what the Firefox devs did there.

Woha. Are you running Firefox heavy memory edition? :)

Observing chrome (one of the page handler processes consuming about the same amount of memory) for a bit it appears to use a considerable amount of memory for rendering the page (this was just a google search result page), but in addition uses about 3 to 5 times as much memory for something else (apparently not touched while interacting a little with it).
No idea what that other memory is used for. It is kind of like dark matter.

Firefox I think is emulated. So that they don't need to do native code on each OS.

If I have a couple of tabs open (4 or 5), I am well into the gigabytes.
