[QUOTE="xdunlapx, post: 1531802, member: 261057"] I am trying to figure out how to find out how much ram Maxthon is running in total. I have no idea why it has so many processes. It's annoying as heck. If all of the Maxthon processes are labeled as Maxthon then it's using 1029 MB which is actually less than Firefox uses and I have 8 tabs open. Firefox usually runs between 1.2 GB and 1.7 GB. So 1029 MB is 5MB over 1 GB. :P I am also concerned about my kernel_task. It's using 1.23 GB right now. That seems awfully high. Yes rebooting fixes it temporarily but as soon as I actually open my browser and other apps, and actually use the computer it climbs and climbs up to at least what it is now. I last rebooted 5 days, 7 hours and 29 minutes ago. I don't want to reboot my computer daily. I never have. It's not that it takes forever to wait for it (it doesn't) but It's just very inconvenient. Do you (or anyone else) have any suggestions on how to proceed? [/QUOTE]
