CPressland Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hey guys, i got bored as hell so I decided to open 1000 TextEdit windows and see how the system ran after. Performance was identical in every way, just a few more Read Write IOs than normal. To make matters more awesome I was even filming it fullscreen with "IShowYou" and we all know how much power that sucks away. If you wana watch the video head over to: http://blip.tv/file/896833/ lol, I suck, I know :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrA Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I wonder what it would look like if you'd Expose all those windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 How do you know they are all usable!?!? Did you test every single one? I think not!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticWhisper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I bet #556 isn't usable. 556 always was a surly bastitch, goddamn him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I tried to perform the same thing with xfce but xfce-panel (the thing a bit like the taskbar in windows) ended up being a bottleneck and crippled when it got to over 200 windows. The composited window manager could handle it fine, though. If I close xfce-panel I could probably get 1000 but I can't be bothered. By the way I used this bash script to perform what you did in a few seconds: for ((i=0;i<=1000;i+=1)); do mousepad & done edit: I just realised that actually opens 1001 :o Edited May 11, 2008 by Borbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_onion Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Prove. Please open 1000 notepads and post a shot. :D done. i thik you needa good pc to do it. i have 4GBs of ram and a core 2 quad. i got to like 300 and a ballon came up saying about poor performance at the time i was using like 3.2GBs of ram this dropped to about 2.8GBs then when i got to 350 and it said aero was using too much ram and turned it off then ram usage dropped again from 3.2GBs to about 1.9GBs. from there on i just had to open loads more upto 1000 it seemed it was aero taking most of the ram to run the windows rather than notepad itself. ended on about 3GBs as from the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giga Veteran Posted May 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2008 Gave it a shot. My poor little 1.8ghz Core Duo almost choked on me when doing an expose. :p Ram usage--acceptable. (for 1000 TextEdits at least) CPU usage only shot up when doing the Expose of course. Rest of the OS usable--I only have 2GB in the Macbook anyway.
