Also, making Chromium on Linux more efficient is a Google Summer of Code 2009 project: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/chromium/t124022161299 http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2...

  A quick look-around and I find that they're working on it. http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/ http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-li... I'm sure you could help out. I mean, if you are truly committed to open source.

  And in fact they do: http://www.shivaranjan.com/2009/05/17/linux-how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu-linux/ http://www.shivaranjan.com/2009/05/17/linux-how-to-install-c... There are also daily tarballs if you don't use Debian/Ubuntu or feel like doing it yourself. I don't think the phrase "truly committed to open source" means anything in the context of a company as large as Google. The Chromium team may be hardcore about it and the AdWords people may shudder at the thought. Big companies are all schitzophrenic. (And anyways, "open source" != Linux.)
