1193082 2011-04-10 03:59:00 Just as a Comparison - Opening PressF1 in both Opera and IE 9 & FF & lunascape - memory usage:

Opera = 76,912K

IE9 = 41,978K

FF = 79,188K

Lunascape6 = 67,524K


Edit Lunascape goes between 61 -68. FF jumps all over the place, as far as 130,996K so far.

Opera, IE9 remain consistent to within 100 - Give or take a bit.

1193084 2011-04-10 05:20:00 my electric blanket died, my steam mop wont steam,

Trademe.

Perhaps it isn't you at all, I had a hell of a lag a while back, Telecom had me doing all sorts of pings, tracerts (which were OK) and stuff, swapping modems, all sorts.

They were about to send the tech when whatever happened, happened and it resolved. I suspect something one of them did at their end.....

I'd tried various browsers too and another PC.

Know someone with a laptop? They could come over and plug it in and see if they get the smae thing? If not, it's you, but if so, it's ISP.

1193086 2011-04-10 06:57:00 Hi Beetle,
Right click on my computer and select properties down towards the bottom it will say what cpu is fitted and how much real memory, let us know.
Better still post a screen shot.

I've got IE8 @ 77,192 :)

Opera's memory usage is atrocious . I wonder how DragonFly compares to FireBug :)

1193089 2011-04-10 10:24:00 Some more RAM & removing Zone Alarm would be a good idea. Greven (91)
1193090 2011-04-10 11:08:00 Open Task manager - the items using the highest amount of memory will have larger numbers .

One other way -- Open task manager and post back a screen shot of the full list, task manager can be resized to include it all .

See attachment .

HINT: if you want to hide your name ( user details) before taking the screen shot, view- select Columns, and untick User Name .
