Getting some super High memory usage again

[Thehandyman1957]

Hello all, Can anyone take a look at this and tell what could be using sooooo much ram?

At the time of measurement it was using about 1.5 gigs. When I had this problem last time it was the add-on "youtube center" and we removed that and I have used a script instead. I had to upload the report in a zip format as there is a 2.2mb limit on attachments and unzipped it was almost 3mb.

The main site visited is simply very heavy because of the way it's built (with memory-hungry embeds, etc.) - Your NoScript scriptsurrogates might also aggravate the situation.
The window objects alone for that website take up 125MB, not counting additional resources needed for textures, scripts, etc.

Also, your memory report doesn't show 1.5GB, but a little under 1GB. If you lose another half gig somewhere, it seems to be something outside of the browser accounting for it.

I should have made a snap shot of the Process explorer. Where the other half a gig was coming from was from plugin-container.exe

I have noticed a pattern in that when I'm using Pandora the memory usage gets high every time no matter what page I go to while listening.

Pandora uses flash, do you think this could have something to do with it?

UPDATE: Ok so I did a bit of my own testing and if I start Pale Moon my itself without going anywhere it will get up to about 800mb of ram and then settle at about 500+ after about 10 seconds. If I go surfing it pretty much stays below 700mb no matter where I go except Youtube and that is only a bit higher.

But if I load Pale Moon and only go to Pandora it instantly starts the Plugin-container.exe and it shoots up to about 100mb on it's own. After about 10 minutes of playing it seems to hover at about 125mb. At the same time Pale Moon shows about 550 to 600mb which is normal for me.

But if I let Pandora go for about an hour or two and I surf other pages reading and such it will eventually creep up to about 1 gig and I have seen Plugin-container.exe get to almost 450mb at the same time.

This is only after a half hour of cruising the web.

They've been experimenting with an HTML5 player/audio and so you may want to see if Pandora can play without Flash. There website also change a little, it's just the UI though.

I'm just thinking these might add on to your super high memory while using Pandora.

It's Flash. Over time Flash starts to crank the RAM up.

The funny part is after about an hour of surfing it settled down a bit.

I went to all the normal sites and the only thing that I can think of that I did different is that I downloaded a few video's from Youtube using "flash video downloader"

So I can't seem to repeat the spike.

All in all it has only happened twice but it would have been nice to figure out what it really was.

It seems that it is not flash after all. Pandora officially went to HTML5 and dropped Flash.
