Firefox for eCS (OS/2) 24.8.1 Beta2 using very high CPU.

Dave Yeo:
Do you guys have REIPL=ON in your config.sys? I haven't had a random reboot in ages and seldom get traps, the very occasional trap 3 in JFS and when I marked SeaMonkey and Thunderbird to use high memory Thunderbird became unstable, even causing a trap 0. I unmarked Thunderbird and the system became stable.

In my case, No.. In fact I explicitly added REIPL=OFF just to make sure because I didn't want it to be an issue and traps give me a trap dump attempt (it won't actually create a dump but that is something else).

No, don't have the REIPL statement in config.sys, and default is off.

Nope, just a plain eCS v2.2 Beta just reinstalled.

No auto-reboots here, but...when I moved to SMP config (AMD Phenom II - X6) Firefox went into this crazy CPU spike mode...ultimately what has always worked for me is to set the following in CONFIG.SYS:

SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1

This is documented in the 24.8.1 README as well, take a peek at it for more details.

I have not tried turning this OFF with 24.8.1 yet though...only had a single re-boot since my move from 17.x to 24.8.1.
