Tabs in Safari for gmail eat much memory a lot. Why?

After I installed 10.11.4 on my 2012 13 "MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM, I found a lot of to use it. Recently, when I have frustrated its use, I checked the activity monitor and found that Safari tablets ONLY for gmail eats a lot a lot of memory, which seems ridiculous to me.

Gmail has been known to be a very light e-mail client. But I see that just by opening gmail inbox page, takes about 250 to 300 MB of RAM memory. And after a while (20-30 seconds) the consumption of memory goes up to 450 to 600 MB. I usually keep an eye gmail open in my safari browser all the time to check emails and not to close. (I do not use Mac Mail application, thinking that the Mail app will eat more memory than tabs in Safari). I also have emails with the normal text or advertising emails. No data high image or video files in my regular emails.

Here are the data of the activity monitor. Look at the memory for the process "mail.google.com":-the largest is 692MB taken up by a tab.

Answer please, if any of you are also facing this problem. Is this a bug of Mac OS or Gmail bug? Or if there is no solution to this.

Hello...

See if that makes a difference...

In your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data of the website can leave and then restart Safari to test.

  • Questions about privacy and security when you use Safari for Windows

    I have Itunes + Quick Time Player installed to download music and some time ago I had the opportunity to download Safari for Windows.  I used it a few times, just out of curiosity, and I noticed that it is much faster than IE7, so I plan to use it regularly, but before that, I have a few questions:

    -someone at - it tested (or uses) Safari for Windows, and what are your results?

    -What is save to use as Firefox or Opera, both recommended as alternative by our experts at the HijackThis forum?

    -the programs that I installed (Online Armor firewall, AVG 8.0 suite, MBAM with protection in real time enabled RogueRemover Pro with immune protection enabled, WinPatrol, SpywareBlaster) offer the same protection when you use Safari for browsing?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    This problem is limited to any icon or it happens with all?

    Did you change to the computer?

    I suggest to refer to the following methods and check to see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Install the latest display driver and check

    Uninstall the driver from Device Manager display.

    a. close all programs. This will ensure that the programs do not interfere with the update of the driver.
    b. right-click on my computer, and then click Properties. This will bring you from the System Properties menu.

    c. click Device Manager
    d. expand the display column of cards by clicking on them. This will show the graphical current map that is using your computer.
    e. right click on the adapter, then select Properties.
    f. click on the driver tab. This tab displays information about the current driver, as well as options to update, delete, uninstall, and back the driver.
    g. click on uninstall
    h. restart the computer

    You can install the latest display driver for download on the site of computer manufacturing, same driver will reinstall automatically after the restart, if the computer is connected to the Internet.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you try the system restore. Restore the system to a restore point when your computer was working fine

    You can also check the Device Manager to see if the video card has a yellow exclamation on it with an error any:

  • Why firefox uses so much memory?

    For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

    I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

    I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

    Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

    I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

    Help?

    Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

    Why you turn off automatic updates?

    There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

    You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

    Download Process Explorer.
    For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

    With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

    Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

    Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

  • What eats my memory?

    I am trying to optimize a batch process I've run every night to reload the database of our Web site. He is running as an asynchronous process on CFMX7, and I'm on CF8 benchmarking and try to get some more performance out of it.

    Base flow is that the initial request takes about 50,000 items, just get their unique digital ID, SKU, and another field. Then the program loops through the items one at a time, retrieves a bunch of data on each of them, creates a structure containing all of the data relevant to this point, adds this structure to another structure for a family of elements, then sends this structure to another asynchronous process that manages the family to write to the database. Once it does this, structures are all reset and reused (same names of variables) to the next family in the loop. This whole process takes 5-6 hours right now.

    What is interesting to me is that it runs in CF8 and watch the server monitor, I see my use of memory just keep growing because the process is running, never really clean and eventually maxing out. But if I look at the details of the memory usage, I see a few variables in memory, who is recycled at each iteration. So what's eating the memory? I thought that if I reused variable and query names, they would be essentially destroyed and recreated with each iteration of the loop, but it's almost as if each iteration builds up junk in memory that never goes away.

    Someone saw to that, and how can I optimize the process to better manage the memory?

    Thank you all for the suggestions. It helped me to take a look nine on the process and really simplify things. I was trying to be too fancy with a lot of data and CFC structures from things around, and it turns out be much more effective as a linear process of "brute force" with a single set of scalar variables for each iteration of the loop.

    But the biggest revelation was that it wasn't my process to all that was to consume all the memory - it was the new CF8 server followed! I used the monitor to monitor the memory of the JVM, but I got all the options under tension (profiling, monitoring memory), and apparently, who eats a ton of memory. Out of these options, and the process ran in 2.5 hours and never jumped over 300 MB memory JVM used. Good to know!

  • Thunderbird will not use the IMAP protocol for gmail unless I have "allow less secure operations" - help!

    I used you bird for years, so the question is how to upgrade an old account IMAP. Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall you bird? I hope not! Maybe delete the account Gmail of you bird and reinstall?

    Using Windows7, planning to migrate to Windows 8 soon but not immediately.

    Thanks for any help. I searched the existing threads - if my answer is there, I was unable to find it! I found some indications that it is simply the way it is, but in other place indicates that this is possible. Verizon (which apparently don't use IMAP) is my client by default in you bird and I want to keep it this way. WHAT is the problem?

    Christ1, I know it's all the same account Gmail - but the article you sent me was very useful. Thank you for taking the time to stay with me on this - I'm sorry to be unclear, but... I'm really out of my depth here! There are many on the way computers and the internet work is a mystery to me, but OTOH I can usually bend to my will, even if I do not understand how they work!

    I think you put your finger on something important for me. I use Gmail so MUCH as a POP3 account (via you bird) and (more rarely) online, such as webmail - when I'm not at my main computer. And I want to keep it this way, so it seems that if I need to keep things as they are. I told Google to enable IMAP, but also continue to use you bird (POP).

    "Security" - well, if Gmail has to have me 'allow less secure connections', then there must be SOMETHING less safe on pop... don't know more on this subject than that, however.

    We will examine this 'resolved for now' and thanks again.

    Mine...

  • When I click on the + sign, I don't get another tab even if an extra tab open if, for example, I click on a link in an e-mail or on a website.

    Before the last update, I could open a new tab by clicking on the + sign to the right of any open tabs. None. Nothing happens. If I click on a link in an e-mail or on a Web site, however, a new tab opens. For example, if I get an email from Facebook that says that someone has posted, and I click on the link, I'll get a new tab open, and Facebook will be there. Then I have two tabs open and can navigate on either without problem. If I click on the + sign, all nothing happens. I am perfectly able to open Safari with Firefox running and I get several tabs to get there without effect on Firefox. In other words, I can come and go.

  • AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

    AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

    Hi cmich80220.
    It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:
