Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
Chromium is getting too hungry for RAM. It is not crucial and the system
overall does not hang as has been reported before, however it is a very
annoying problem. With a few open tabs (like mostly wikipedia.org) it manages
to consume up to 500MB. I have some extensions turned on, they do not seem to
be the culprit. It is actual tabs. Here's what I get from top:

And here's what the "stats for nerds" says itself:
Memory
Browser Private Proportional
Chromium

Note: If other browsers (e.g. IE, Firefox, Safari) are running, I'll show their
memory details here.
I guess this is too much!
