Wild guess as I'm just troubleshooting the Firefox part. What extensions do you have? Does the page use flash or java?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/1/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jim Kronebusch</b> <

<br><br>Anyhow, nbd swap is working. I boot the client and switch to screen 1 and log into the<br>command line and run free:<br> Total Used free shared buffers Cached<br>Mem: 109948 109960 2988 0 0 43216

<br><br>Now this website is an extreme case, but it makes for good testing. At least this<br>proves Swap is getting used, so that theory is out. But I see Cached memory greatly<br>reduced and the buffers look like they almost immediately fill up leaving only 5MB or so
