Issue 2039: Chrome timers use more power due to timeBeginPeriod(1)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2039

I found this also in the report-a-bug logs:

2008-09-09-chromebugs.log:2008-09-09
22:24:27.071937,1,4387595510262054452,0.2.149.29.1798,en,5.1.2600 Service  
Pack
2,0,N/A,New Tab,

This browser under windows appears to change the OS timer tick to 1ms,  
causing the
interrupts/s to amplify from a couple hundred to 1,100 or so a second.   
This is a
huge waste of power and defeats most of the power management features in  
computers.
If you expect people to use this web browser, then only change the timer  
tick to a
faster rate when its needed.  Look at interrups/second on IEx and Safari  
and you
won't see this problem (they are mobile friendly).      Don't test this on  
a page
with Adobe FLASH, as FLASH will set the timertick to 1ms (Adobe needs to  
fix this
also).    Please fix this.  ---  Intel
