Comment #1 on issue 21041 by daniel.r.kegel: Linux: Renderer using 23GB of virtual memory, 6GB of resident memory http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21041
It happened here, too. I left my workstation logged in with chrome on both gmail.com and a Google Apps gmail account over the long weekend. Came back today to find chrome is still up, but the two gmail tabs are using lots of memory, and the system is on its knees. It's runnning chrome dev channel on linux, x86-64, version 4.0.203.2. Task manager says the two gmail tabs are the big ones, using 350MB and 2.3GB respectively. Interactivity is horrible, system seems to freeze every other second for a second or two. Both existing gmail tabs reported they couldn't connect, though one of them eventually healed itself, and new gmail tabs can connect fine. New gmail tabs only use 75 MB or so, even on the same account, so it seems like there's a heinous memory leak somewhere. $ ps augxw | grep chrome | grep -v defunct dkegel 3414 1.9 1.7 530024 68228 ?
