Comment #1 on issue 23400 by [email protected]: Flush everything we can  
from memory on suspend/sleep
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23400

About tcmalloc:
When you alloc and then free pages via tcmalloc, tcmalloc does not actually  
return the
pages to the operating system.  It keeps them on free lists so that it can  
reuse them
(since presumably the application is likely to need them again).   
Periodically,
tcmalloc does release them on its own.  But, when we're about to suspend,  
we should
flush everything and force tcmalloc to clean everything up.  Anton is  
working on code
which does this, so calling it should be easy.
