The OP is complaining about excessive write traffic, which wastes power, steals disk-time from other applications, and may wear out SSDs prematurely.
A large profile file does not imply excessive write traffic, so it's not clear from your report that Chrome is hitting the same problem at all. Definitely worth watching, but big-file != excessive-writes.
- nchelluri 10y agoI think your point is valid, but even so the person you were replying to turned out to be correct. There's an edit at the end of the article: > Currently in the middle of a Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m test. We have been able to see a pace of over 24GB/ day of writes on this machine... 24GB is higher than the 10-12 he was complaining about from Firefox, even.
