One thing I would like to point out, is that there is a bug currently in Chromium 39 which causes a new memory leak each time the popup UI of an extension is opened: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=441500 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=441500 This affects all extensions. Just so people are informed memory figures won't be too reliable as soon as you opened even only once the popup UI of an extension. (In all my benchmarks I of course avoided to do this).
