Slow starting up and memory hungry

The problem, as I see it, is not so much a memory problem but a CPU utilization problem. When Flock loads, it takes 48%-50% of CPU and pegs there. Firefox is only 14%-16% with spikes to 50%. IMO, this causes Flock to "not respond". Now, I'm not sure if its caused by an add-on so I'm going to try runnig it in safe mode as suggested above.

I monitored the performance for a couple of days and have since stopped using flock and gone back to Firefox. I've been monitoring Firefox now for a couple of days and the difference in performance is very noticeable. Flock is unbearably slow compared to Firefox.

OK. Bruno, you are correct. the horrible performance problem is not Flock per se. It is most definitely a problem with one or more add-ons. Flock running normally with add-ons enabled was taking 40-50% of CPU. Now, I'm running in "safe mode" with no add-ons installed and its idling along at <5% CPU. It will peak to 15% or so on page loads but this is a considerable difference.

Bruno, any suggestions on weeding out the offending add-on(s)?

Thanks.

Hi Mag Gan,
I have not noticed, that Flock 2.0.3 is using very much memory when starting up. (my adds-on & extensions I have listed on another thread: "Add-ons & Extensions (Discussion)"). Like Firefox it is slow when starting up the first time, but by using the Firefox' extension:"Boss Key", you can minimize Flock to the system tray, and get Flock to start up right away the following times until you reboot! One way to start up Flock fast the very first time is to place flock.exe in the Autostart group, but as you probably have many programs and services starting up, when you boot up, I will not recommend to extend the startup group to much.

here's a stupid question: How do you run FLock in safe mode? I'm on a mac...
