[tor-bugs] #12784 [Tor]: TBB/Vidalia/Power Comsumption
#12784: TBB/Vidalia/Power Comsumption
-------------------------------------------+---------------------
Reporter: dtuenv0 | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Tor | Version:
Keywords: TBB Vidalia Power Consumption | Actual Points:
Parent ID: | Points:
-------------------------------------------+---------------------
Background: I travel on public transport for several hours a day. I read
news whilst traveling with a laptop: Tor Browser with many open tabs.
Issue:
Various web sites (wired.com is one) deliver content which causes tor (not
the browser, the socks proxy) to flatline a CPU. Turning Tor off, via
Vidalia, stops this (thus longer battery life and cooler laptop and can
still read the news).
Please make it possible to stop/start the proxy again without terminating
the browser.
Behaviour is true for TBB 3.6.3 (and previous to when Vidalia
disappeared/was merged).
OS: Linux MINT
uname -a: Linux <hostname> 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9
19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hardware: Lenovo T430.
PS: My username here is also the name of my exit relay. My direct contact
details are published there (see atlas etc.). Tor is a beautiful thing
(thx).
