Thread: Firefox & slight stuttering problems in Audacious


hi, installed lubuntu after trying out sabayon , regular ubuntu, both hardware. which, before go further, is:
amd athlon 64 3200+ @ 2ghz
2gb ddr2 667mhz corsair ram
500w cooler master psu
ati/amd hd radeon 3650 (agp) 512mb
biostar mobo (eugh)

anyway, title implies, firefox causes stuttering issues when playing music in audacious (ie slowdowns). doesn't make sense, because 2gb ram , 2ghz processor, you'd think lubuntu have no issues. had problem on sabayon , ubuntu (which far worse) - mind you, 1gb ram (i got replacement ram corsair previous 2gb defective).
linux, not windows vista. there reports of people getting lubuntu working fine on piiis , 512mb of ram. actually, come think of it, vista works relatively fine on partition, slower like, windows isn't me.

i've tried "lightweight" browsers such arora (which mess) , midori, i'm using type this. immensely, , using chromium helps (though there slight stuttering @ times), used firefox. (it helps ff sync keeps bookmarks , rss feeds, while importing bookmarks loses feeds other browsers.)

suggestions on how reduce slowdowns on system? extensions have installed in firefox adblock+, personas+ , personas rotator. that, , default ubuntu-integration stuff comes installing synaptic.

- start system monitor.
- start firefox , audacious.
- start playing music.
- watch system monitor. weird spikes? if yes, where/when?

truthfully, notices 2-3 releases computer stutters when playing music. annoying , haven't found solution, although confess haven't tried hard. on i5 system 4g of ram, know not resource problem. use banshee/rhythmbox. next time play music, i'll too.
