Hello, |

OK, so I run a minimalist DE (LXDE) and htop to monitor |
5 |
system performance. The mobo has an fx8350 with 8 cores |
6 |
(currently set at 4GHz (unclocked). The system rarily |
7 |
uses over 8/32 gig of it's ram. So the resources are not |
8 |
even close to exhausted. cpus mostly idle. |
9 |
|
10 |
I do keep (2) browsers up, with tabs aplenty, but they are not being used |
11 |
very much. It's mostly a myriad of documents to read while I hack at code. |
12 |
|
13 |
Often the latency is minimal and the system response (as guaged) |
14 |
from the keyboard is fine (quick). Other times the active terminal |
15 |
session is a pig mostly in the web browser windows. |
16 |
|
17 |
So. Is there a make.conf setting or elsewhere to make the |
18 |
terminal session response times, in the browsers (seamonkey, firefox) |
19 |
faster? Something like a ram_disk just for the browsers? |
20 |
|
21 |
Note, after I finish up a project, many (browser) terminal sessions |
22 |
are deleted and things are fine again. I'm just asking for a way |
23 |
to ensure more ram/cpu resources are dedicated to the browsers |
24 |
to boost performance, on a dynamic basis (without manual intervention). |
25 |
|
26 |
Maybe a ram_disk_cache (dynamic renice to-10 for the active window?) just |
27 |
for the active browser window (the browser window I'm typing in? (background |
28 |
code compilations are not concurrent with |
29 |
the typing latency in the browser windows)..... |
30 |
|
31 |
ideas? |
