Firefox Memory leak

Open spacedman opened this issue 14 years ago • 1 comments

The arborjs.org home page (and things I've tried to build with it) cause Firefox (versions 3.x, 7.0.1) to increase memory usage until the system falls over. CPU runs at 90%-ish.

Chromium works fine - cpu runs at about 30% max when moving stuff around on the homepage, then zeroes off as the objects stabilise. Memory usage doesnt increase.

So probably some memory leak in Firefox, and possibly also related to the CPU usage issue filed here. Would be a shame to tell everyone 'This site looks best in Chromium'.

Haven't tested IE/WebKit browsers/Opera/lynx :)

I would really love to see this fixed. I'm willing to help, but I don't know much about how memory management works with javascript. I thought it was handled by a garbage collector.

I tried the examples on Opera, Chrome, and Safari and they all worked fine. I saw much higher CPU usage (~60%) in Opera, but then it came down as the particle system reached equilibrium.
