Comment #16 on issue 12189 by darthandroid: Renderer freezes http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12189
I just tried the latest build according to the link posted in comment #13 - Fresh profile stilled showed the problems. Global CPU usage stayed below a single core on my machine, and chrome usage (according to the chrome task manager) was 1-2% for the browser and 0 for all tabs while it was frozen. I ran the browser with --single-process and watched the list of threads whenever the browser froze - each time one thread that otherwise sat at 0 clock cycles would jump to using the most by a factor of 100 and then drop back to 0 just as the browser unfroze: thread chrome.exe!SetActiveURL+0c2a8d6 0 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x690 1 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0xe3 2 wow64.dll!Wow64SystemServiceEx+0x1ce 3 wow64.dll!Wow64LdrpInitialize+0x429 4 ntdll.dll!RtlResetRtlTranslations+0x1b08 5 ntdll.dll!RtlResetRtlTranslations+0xc63 6 ntdll.dll!LdrInitializeThunk+0xe 7 ntdll.dll!NtWaitForMultipleObjects+0x15 8 kernel32.dll!WaitForMultipleObjectsEx+0x8e 9 USER32.dll!MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx+0xfa 10 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x3a1387 11 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x3a16fd 12 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x3a08c2 13 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x37d5bf 14 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x37e247 15 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x1858f 16 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x1a5f4 17 chrome.dll!ChromeMain+0x819 18 chrome.exe!SetActiveURL+0x110d 19 chrome.exe!SetActiveURL+0x1540 20 chrome.exe!SetActiveURL+0x2a86d 21 kernel32.dll!BaseThreadInitThunk+0x12 22 ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x63 23 ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x36 This stack trace was grabbed via process explorer while the renderer was hung, and was the same thread each time, regardless of active tab or if tabs had been closed. I know it doesn't give a full picture of the browser's state, but it seems the most suspect. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
