Comment #22 on issue 12120 by bquandt: chrome browser process and flash process memory usage grows over time (memory leak) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12120
I see the behavior almost exactly as #7 above reports. Chrome is slightly smaller than fullscreen on a dual-monitor 1280x1024 setup. Running Windows XP with 2GB RAM. I've narrowed it down to a specific sample page set. Any article on TechCrunch (and its sister site CrunchGear) seems to cause the issue quickly. Upon loading the page, Process Explorer reports a Working Set (and Private Bytes) as about 45MB. I've seen this quickly grow (often around 200k/sec) to over 750 MB per TechCrunch tab I have open. Typically the problem manifests itself for me when the screensaver kicks in and locks the screen. Upon unlocking, the machine takes so long to redraw the screen that the 10-minute timeout can often re-lock the screen before the machine is even able to accept input. The disks thrash as the OS swaps out, and I've gotten several Error log entries and app crashes reporting virtual memory issues or services reaching a timeout trying to register. If I can intervene and kill the root chrome.exe process and it's children in ProcExp, the machine goes back to behaving normally. The CrunchGear URL below I opened has grown from 45 MB to 135 MB (as reported by Chrome's TM and as ProcExp's Private Bytes and Working Set) in about 8 minutes. The TechCrunch URL has grown from 45 MB to 621 MB (Private Bytes in ProcExp)/600MB (Working Set in Procexp) in about 35 minutes. ProcExp shows that tab at 671 MB Virtual. Chrome's about:memory shows this for the tab: Tab Microsoft’s Azure Gets A Business Model And An Official Release Date 597704k 3108k 600812k 616688k 4300k Interestingly, the last 100MB jump in usage happened in one refresh interval (2 seconds). http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/microsofts-azure-gets-a-business-model-and-an- official-release-date/? awesm=tcrn.ch_5oj&utm_campaign=techcrunch&utm_content=techcrunch- autopost&utm_medium=tcrn.ch-twitter&utm_source=direct-tcrn.ch http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/14/blockbuster-ondemand-coming-to-samsung-hdtvs- blu-ray-players-and-home-theater-systems/? awesm=tcrn.ch_5pB&utm_campaign=techcrunch&utm_content=techcrunch- autopost&utm_medium=tcrn.ch-twitter&utm_source=direct-tcrn.ch -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
