For what it's worth, I've got 16 tabs open in Chrome at the moment -- the process has been running for days -- and it's taking 2.6 gigs of RAM. This is without tabs like Facebook and Twitter, which I will not leave open any more because of noticing how much memory they were burning through just sitting there. A lot of those tabs are simple things like a static page I generated myself or github pages. At the moment, Chrome's response is still snappy, but it certainly is not unusual for it to get pretty bad in my experience, particularly if I'm doing something else memory intensive at the same time.
