Issue 3476: Massive CPU/lag spikes in 0.3.154.3
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3476

New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
On both my work and home machines (both dual-core, lots of RAM) I've
experienced a new issue with 0.3.154.3: massive CPU load while scrolling
certain tabs.

When this has reproduced, it's been on  
http://www.shacknews.com/latestchatty.x .  The trigger may be some
particular Flash ad being loaded at the top of the page (?), which is why
it's so hard to reproduce this at will; it could also have to do with
navigating back and forward between pages (maybe something isn't getting
cleaned up properly on navigation?).  CCing jam/ananta (for plugins) and
brettw (for navigation controller) in case they have ideas.

The behavior I see is that scrolling the page, with either the wheel or
scroll thumb, suddenly becomes _horribly_ laggy.  The Chrome task manager
shows the renderer process for that tab (not the plugin or browser
processes!) taking tons of CPU (>50% almost immediately on scrolling, and
continuing to spike upwards as I keep scrolling).  (By contrast, when the
problem is not occurring, dragging the scroll thumb as fast as possible
continuously gets the renderer process up to a peak of about 40% CPU --
seems kind of high to me, but the app remains very responsive.)

At this point the browser is nearly unusable, as any time I try to scroll
the tab my machine basically comes to a dead halt.  Restarting the browser
definitely fixes the issue.  No more data yet.
