FYI: Your RAM usage is not 150MB, that's only for the main process. Each tab is it's own process and has it's own RAM utilization as well as CPU utilization.

- aeontech 16y agoYup. If I have about 40 tabs open in Chrome, especially with some Flash videos or JS-heavy sites, Chrome can easily chew up a a gig and a half of memory and slow everything to a crawl. There is no magic bullet. Bumping my memory up to 8GB ($130 from crucial) helped a lot though. No more paging issues for now even when running photoshop, firefox, safari, chrome, zend studio/rubymine/eclipse (yes, I use vim too, but it uses practically no memory)
- to 16y agoesp if flash is involved chrome can get really mean... not saying other browsers are better. besides that chrome is insanely fast on osx. i compared it with win and its a bit snappier on osx. for whatever internal reasons.
