Ask HN: Chrome and excessive memory consumption

[cl8ton]

Anyone else having this issue with Chrome?

I'm using Chrome v25.0.1364.152 on Windows7 with 4 tabs open right now. Task mgr shows 13 processes consuming 2.9gig of memory! WTH is going on with it?

I have to restart the browser every 2 hours just to get any work done.

No, on Windows right now, I'm using the same version and with 9 tabs open I got 512 mb being used for chrome.

EDIT: When this happens you can see if VMMap can help you.
