Google Chrom pegging 8 core?

[Tomtstic]

I am a chrome user and recently I made a folder for my commonly opened bookmarks so that I can open them all at once. I noticed that when I open this folder of about 11 bookmarks all at once in chrome it pegs my system. I have a fx8120 and 16GB of 1866 memory. I am not sure why a web browser would ever use 100% of my cpu and about 6 GB of ram. I imported all of my bookmarks in firefox to see if it happend in a differnet browser and firefox only went to about 20% and 4Gb of ram, so it is only in chrome.

 

If anyone know of any way to prevent this or even just why it hapens I would appriciate it.

 

Thank you

Chrome uses a lot more memory because it treats each tab like its own process (I think). It is known to be a resource hog compared to firefox, but that still seems like very high usage though.

That seems really weird. To test out if the same thing happened with me, I opened all 16 of my bookmarks at once (right clicked the folder -> open all).

 

My 3570K went to 99% for about a second or two. But it only used 400MB more of RAM.

Chrome, in its default installation, protects users from phishing and malware on real time. Sure, small deal, but if it consumes 80% of your CPU and 80% of your RAM, its definitely big deal.

disable this functionality under setting/ under advanced setting..
