Call_2_Glory Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 i have the updated version of java, but for some reason, it runs at 255,000k or more when i play runescape, while firefox runs at between 80k-112k? anyone have an explanation for this, and how to slow it down? And i do play on low detail 99% of the time, occasionally using HD for like an hour at a time, not when i checked the Processes.

Laura Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Java is a needy resource and is separate from Firefox. Why do you want to slow it down? If you want to free up memory, the only real option is to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_2_Glory Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 well, you see...sometimes it runs at 100,000k or so, then sometimes it runs obscenely high at 255,00k? why is this? during these times, my computer runs very slow and freezes a lot. I want to find a way to figure out how i can either make my pc run faster or how to make it so java doesnt interupt my normal pc usage as much.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't know your exact memory specs or your OS, but I can at least suggest that you "limit" the amount of memory that Java is permitted to use. To do this, go to your Control Panel (assuming Windows), click on Java, and go to the Java tab. Then, from there, click on the Java Applet Runtime Settings, then select the most current Java that you have (should be 6 update 11). Now, there's going to be a section that says "Java Runtime", and in there, you will type in -Xmx256m. That should prevent Java from running too wild. Still, let's hear your specs. I can't really say what's causing the problem for sure unless you give those out.

eggzs Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What is the "2.79Ghz" if you already have a 2.80Ghz Pentium 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What is the "2.79Ghz" if you already have a 2.80Ghz Pentium 4? I was just thinking that, but then I noticed the .01 difference between the clock speeds. Trivial, at best - I can assume 2.79GHz for this. I was hoping for your current graphics card and Java version, but that's fine. It could be that there's some sort of hardware bottleneck someplace, or that you don't have quite enough memory. Tough to conclude on that, really. Get back to me when you've tried the -Xmx256m option.
