Agreed. I have seen FF3 scorch the CPU when no flash is running.

Then again, one of the issues with tabbed browsing is that if we are not careful, we can have 20 or more tabs running before you know it, each running something "hot".....

Frankly speaking, after running Opera for a week or so, I have scorched the CPU on my laptop on at least one occasion. So, I am not 100% sure if the problem is isolated to FF3, as I am starting to see a similar condition on Opera Smilie

Opera 9.5 for Sparc

Has anyone gotten Opera 9.5 to work? I'm using Solaris Sparc 5.10. The browser is unusable. It crashes even when viewing Opera's Desktop Team blog. I've asked Opera about this, but no reply. I've never been able to get the 9.5 betas to work either. From one Opera user's blog, I don't see any...

ob_gzhandler

OB_GZHANDLER(3) 							 1							   OB_GZHANDLER(3)

ob_gzhandler - ob_start callback function to gzip output buffer

SYNOPSIS

       string ob_gzhandler (string  $buffer, int  $mode)

DESCRIPTION

       ob_gzhandler(3)	is  intended  to be used as a callback function for ob_start(3) to help facilitate sending gz-encoded data to web browsers
       that support compressed web pages. Before ob_gzhandler(3) actually sends compressed data, it determines what type of content  encoding  the
       browser	will accept ("gzip", "deflate" or none at all) and will return its output accordingly. All browsers are supported since it's up to
       the browser to send the correct header saying that it accepts compressed web pages. If a browser  doesn't  support  compressed  pages  this
       function returns FALSE.

PARAMETERS

	      o $buffer
		-

	      o $mode
		-

RETURN VALUES

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      ob_gzhandler(3) example

	      <?php

	      ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

	      ?>
	      <html>
	      <body>
	      <p>This should be a compressed page.</p>
	      </body>
	      </html>

NOTES

       Note

	      ob_gzhandler(3) requires the zlib extension.

       Note

	       You  cannot  use  both ob_gzhandler(3) and zlib.output_compression. Also note that using  zlib.output_compression is preferred over
	      ob_gzhandler(3).
