(My excuses, if I come across as 'bothersome'. Since I can't debug much, I can only help out like this.)
Tried again, yesterday, carefully checking what goes on. Restart, Chrome. Everything fine. No ramping up of swap space for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, bang, swap from a few hundred MB to 2 GB within seconds. Throwing collected garbage into RAM? Forking the set of tabs? -- 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.
