No. Chrom(ium) from snap, with snap refresh whenever possible (last two days ago). kubuntu.
I myself was surprised, and checked with kernel initially. Nothing. In principle only running Chrome on the Desktop. And when I close it, close to choking, the swap space is being almost freed immediately (well, whatever you expect at that swappiness). I made sure, that after cold re-boot I opened nothing but Chrome. I concede, that I have, what others call, unusually many open tabs, between 25 and 30. Though until recently (?) this never happend. Since I tun a relatively low-powered, fanless CPU I was used to lagging because of high CPU loads. Therefore I was surprised yesterday that the CPU loads (e.g. top) were low at high swap use. Therefore I had expected a kernel problem, until I started Firefox, with my around 20 tabs, and everything was very much back to normal: high CPU loads, medium RAM usage, close to zero swap use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1983660 Title: Chromium seems to drive all data into swap, until choking Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: For the last day(s) my machine runs Chrome very very slow and sluggish until it stops reacting at all. I haven't done any changes except of the daily updates and snap refresh. What I found out, is that the memory space used is almost immediately the swap space. Same after cold boot: it starts pretty usual, but soon almost all memory data seem to be sent into swap space, despite of RAM being available. (See attachment, taken shortly before total non-reaction. CPU isn't very busy, RAM is aplenty.) Swappiness is okay at 60. I very much suspect Chrome, since when using Firefox, with my (in Chrome) usual sites, everything looks fine, it doesn't choke, and the swap space used is almost negligible.
