I gave a talk yesterday at the linux.conf.au Browser MiniConf, held in Ballarat, Australia. Its title was “Notes On Reducing Firefox’s Memory Consumption”.
Below are the slides and notes in a SlideShare embedding. If you find that embedding problematic (some people do) you may prefer to download the PDF version directly.
I’m giving a talk at Monash University on Thursday, to students in a 2nd year software engineering class and anyone else who wants to come along, about Firefox development.
Here is a draft version of the slides.
(I wanted to embed a Scribd widget but I can’t get it to work.) I used PowerPoint to make them but I’ve assiduously avoided the common (and widely pilloried) PowerPoint style — there isn’t a single bullet point. Each slide also contains the presenter notes, which indicates more or less what I’m going to say, but don’t worry, I won’t be reading them verbatim. I’ve included those notes because if you read the slides without them you’ll miss a lot of the details.
I’d appreciate any feedback that people might have about these slides. Thanks.
