Bad performance since one of the latest updates. #1804

Well did you try to turn off YTC and find out if it is the culprit? |
|
Unfortunately it doesn't happen consistently. Anyway I downgraded to an older version to test. |
|
You need to provide more information about your system, browser and also the difference of delay, otherwise this ticket is useless. |
|
Okay, so I've been youtubing a bunch of videos right now after downgrading. And didn't have the horrible performance issue. So that makes it unlikely it's not because of YTC. It also means whatever caused it happened between dev 507 and 525. |

Firefox won't be able to take more than 2GB of RAM, mainly because it is a 32-bit program (these can not utilize more than 2GB RAM, even on 64 Bit operating systems, unless they're "real" 64 Bit applications). You need to check your data again! A tip I can give you though: |

There's nothing wrong with my "data". I'm using a 64 bit firefox
No thanks. The youtube flashplayer is horrible. Which is the main reason I started using the HTML5 player. |
You're using non-standard software (not the stable, original Firefox at least), it's not unlikely that this also has an impact and that makes it harder to tell what the reason is. You'd most likely want to test it on the original, stable Firefox, just to make sure (also called: testing condition). If you insist on not even comparing the difference, you're just giving other people a hard time in helping you and the community. You could use Firebug to trace the loading time and give some exact data that could be used to find out what's going on in your browser. A fix that comes to my mind would be deactivating hardware acceleration, this improves HTML5 media performance on FF, as the accelerated playback is not yet polished and was formerly not indended for movie playback. Make sure to restart Firefox after disabling it. Good luck, I'm out. |

Firefox is horrible with memory usage. I had only 10 tabs open with YT Center enabled and it leaked memory constantly until it crashed from using it up completely. You would be better off simply using another browser, Firefox simply runs the whole thing in a single process thread, which means that it only takes one rogue tab to bring the browser to its knees. |

Other Browsers are no better, especially chrome. Besides multi-process just eats up more memory. (And it's not relevant to the this issue.) |
|
I noticed something. (I was testing with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTqiB5XgK0Q ) |
|
Here is my YTC settings I hope it doesn't have private data in it. (Too bad it can't be collapsed)
|

Okay. So this is brutal. I was trying to watch this video. Didn't get throught it. Seeking got progressively slower as I watched until firefox just hung completely for 5 minutes, and memory usage got up to 5.8gig. After that I managed to close the youtube tab, ran a memory minimization and the memory usage dropped back to 1.8gig: |
|
As already stated, Firefox has terrible memory allocation problems, leaking memory into oblivion until it crashes due to running out of memory. Despite your claims, Chrome works perfectly fine for me, with 20 tabs open, playing a video @ 720p60 with YT Center and causing no memory issues at all. It's fine you want to just use Firefox, but don't try to defend its terrible memory allocation problems by suggesting every other browser is worse, when they're not. |

How about you not sugarcoating chrome then. All of what I claimed is valid. Chrome in normal circumstances eats up memory faster, probably no small part because of the multi process architecture. Of course it can release memory easier by killing the process for the tab when you're finished.
Of course it does. Seeing as how zealously protective about it, you'd say that no matter what. FF has no particular "memory allocation issues". The high memory usage for the most part comes from what addons, userscripts use or leak away and never free up. |

I'm testing 519 at the moment (because it has the flags fixed) and it doesn't have this issue. |
|
Had this same issue happen recently, I uninstalled YouTube Center a few days ago because it was so bad. I could always tell when it happened because the 25% CPU usage on videos with my i7 860 would ramp up my CPU fan like crazy. |
Hello!
I'm not sure if it was after the updates on the eighth or the tenth, but I'm sometimes getting pretty horrible performance and extreme memory usage when I have a couple of video pages open. Anyone experiencing something similar?
After unloading the pages performance and memory pretty much went back to normal. It might not be YTC but it's the most suspicious.
