Power use is a concern to me as I use my MacBook Pro away from the plug most of the time, but according to Chrome's task manager, that page on The Verge causes Chrome to eat 552MB of ram just for that one tab.
Assuming that's an accurate view of what's going on under-the-hood in Chrome, whether it's Chrome or that particular page at fault (or some of both), it's a bit ridiculous.
- VOYD 12y agoAnybody know why Chrome spins up 4 processes just to get started? Seems like over kill just to load a single URL.

She would then open up the New York Times home page in IE, and it would eat up a lot of memory and all the cycles it could get. Now and then I pull up Task Manager on one or the other of the machines I use, and am amazed to see how much memory Firefox uses.
