How to Make FFR Lag Less [Updated Version]
Having lag on FFR? Old thread not working good enough? Then try some of these steps to make FFR lag less for you. The more noticeable suggestions are listed first.
Note: This was done on a new gen. Macbook running Ubuntu Linux Hardy Heron 8.04 and Firefox 3.0, however most or all of these tips should work on any other OS or browser, including IE, Windows, and OS X. Suggestion 1: Use http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/indexwrap2.php. Suggestion 2: Lower the quality of FFR. To do this, click the small letter "Q" in the top left corner of the FFR flash window until the graphics become low quality. Suggestion 3: On Firefox only, install AdBlock Plus from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865. Suggestion 4: Set your browser's priority to the highest available. On windows this is done by hitting CTRL + ALT + DEL, selecting the "Processes" tab, finding your browser's process (usually just the name of your browser with the possibility of it being followed by a .exe), right clicking it, scrolling over "Change Priority", and setting it to the highest available, which is usually "Very High". On OS X this is done by opening a Terminal window (if you don't know how check in your System folder), typing "ps Ac" and finding your process, looking at it's number under the "Process ID" column, and then typing "sudo renice -20 PID". On Ubuntu Linux this is done by going to "System", scrolling over "Administration", going to "System Monitor", selecting both your broswer and "npviewer.bin" (FFR must be open), and setting the priority to "Very High". Suggestion 5: Disable images on FFR. Open up an FFR window and right click on any image, such as your icon. On Firefox click "Block images from flashflashrevolution.com". This can also be done a similar way in IE. To unblock the images in Firefox, hit CTRL + I, go to the "Media" tab, and uncheck "Block images from flashflashrevolution.com". Suggestions 6: In Windows, hit CTRL + ALT + DEL, go to the "Processes" tab, end the process "explorer.exe", go to "New Task", type in "explorer.exe" run FFR. This supposedly helps kill lag for Windows users. Note: This suggestion is windows only. Note: For best results, always make sure other windows and programs are closed, and you can always set unimportant but memory hogging processes to a lower priority. Feel free to contribute. Hope this helps you guys out! Have fun! (The original "Make FFR lag less and Run faster" thread is here: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...t=89264&page=1. Thanks to Ertrax for the process method. Thanks to Zageron for the "explorer.exe" method. Thanks to Oni-Paranoia for the AdBlock Plus and quality method. Thanks to TC_Halogen for the http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/indexwrap2.php method.)

Firefox/addon/ABP (Adblock Plus)
Lower Quality Close extra running programs (Limewire/AIM/Meebo etc) delete pointless Processes through task manager |

Re: How to Make FFR Lag Less [Updated Version]
My favorite suggestion to killing lag was one I saw by Zageron.
Open up Task Manager, and kill the explorer.exe process tree, then run explorer.exe again. It completely destroys all lag. |

There are some svhosts that are pretty pointless, but if you don't need to close them you should just leave them running. Another VERY good way I found to cut lag consists of a few things: 1. Disable all windows visual themes (Or leave explorer.exe off) 2. Turn colour quality down to 16bit 3. If you have nVidia: left click on the taskbar icon, Performance and Quality Settings, Image Settings, turn it all the way down. 4. Other ways to reduce lag can be reducing your resolution, but if you have icon location customizations on your desktop they will be ruined. :]

Also, it's process tree, not just process.

Re: How to Make FFR Lag Less [Updated Version]
Some of the ideas are kind of widely known. There are also other ways to make it lag less I think as well.

If the flash ads are displayed, set them to low quality too.

Re: How to Make FFR Lag Less [Updated Version]
Also, you can (and should) download the latest flash player if you haven't already--FFR runs slowly on old flash versions.
Otherwise, everything else has been said already, but I should put emphasis on patashu's post to put ads at low quality if you don't block them (if they're flash ads). It helps to reduce spasms of lag.
