Comment #74 on issue 5083 by Robert.L.Oliver: High browser process CPU usage from Flash on Vista http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5083
Presently on 4.0.223.16 on XP (which, oddly, is apparently the latest Beta and Dev version, which I find hard to believe). I'm seeing bad Flash behavior as before: high memory use and CPU use. I can correct this by killing the Flash task in the Chrome Task Manager, but that's a bit messy. Then, this evening, I noticed one interesting correlation: Google Reader. I use that. And I often use the "Popular" links option. And I'll scroll down through many, many popular links. After awhile, Flash under Chrome is eating memory and CPU. Closing the Google Reader tab fixes things cleanly! Of course, many of the "popular items" in the Google Reader are Flash based. I can't say for sure (yet) that this is Chrome-specific, but historically, it seems to be. Perhaps I'll try using Google Reader in FF and see if I can reproduce it there (I bet I can't). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
