Mike Perry:
Tor Browser 4.5a5 is available at: https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/builds/4.5a5-build6/
This release will be the last alpha in the 4.5 series. We hope to release 4.5-stable in mid-April.
This is my first look at the 4.5 series ...
[...]
Other regular tests all seem OK and it works with Torsocks. Nice job!
Hmmm.
Firefox seems to be using quite a bit of CPU. CPU usage is consistently 10-20% and there are about 100-200 more context switches per second than when using TBB 4.0.6. vmstat output attached. FF version is 31.6.0 in both, OS is Debian 7.8, processor is Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz, system has 4GB of RAM and generally doesn't swap.
Nothing else was happening on the box at the time, and stats were generated a few minutes after TBB had started in each case. I haven't used earlier versions in the 4.5 series so I can't compare this to older releases.
Please let me know what other information would be helpful.
