But I don't know what to make of a tab in Google Chrome having very nearly one gigabyte of memory (real memory as reported by Google Chrome's Task Manager and Activity Monitor) and over 100% CPU.
i seem to be locked in a lifelong battle with web browsers and memory; Safari is worse, and harder to manage; leave 50 tabs open in it for a few days and it will use a huge amount of swap; i recently saw Safari claiming 11GB of real memory and 143GB of VM!
so i keep Chrome as the resting place for various sites where i might use a lot of tabs, and for certain plug-ins and Flash (Flash is not installed on my machine, i only use Chrome's sandboxed version); i've seen Chrome tabs claiming 1GB once or twice; i usually attribute them to memory leaks in active JavaScript pages; but even with dozens of tabs, Chrome does not impinge on the system as a whole the way Safari often does
