Memory usage

Brief browser comparison

The following table summarizes results obtained using a standard Ubuntu 8.10, 32bit. This numbers are explained and commented briefly afterwards.

Browser VSZ RSS COMMAND factor
dillo-2.1 8148 3872 ./dillo (empty)
26936 19196 ./dillo DragonFly.html (1.1MB HTML)
178684 174620 ./dillo MySQL-6.0.html (13MB HTML)

328352 237560 ./firefox MySQL-6.0.html (no IMG) 15
  • The test pages are available here: DragonFly, MySQL

This numbers are the basis to claim that dillo2 uses half thememory footprint of dillo1. Just check the last row or comparethe factor.

The “factor” is calculated with the RSS for theMySQL manual (with no images), minus the empty RSS, minus 13MB,all divided by 13MB. The memory-cached page is subtracted to geta clean HTML-to-Widgets factor.

This is, if you have a 130KB html page, factor*130KB will be usedfor rendering.
