I run Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 beta on my Ubuntu box. Every time that Chrome is left on overnight, the following morning its memory consumption is in the hundreds of MBs (300-400MB) and it is fully utilizing one of my cores while doing nothing. I usually leave the browser open with 2-3 simple HTML tabs open (no Flash or heavy JavaScript).

On occasion, when this happens, Chrome actually kills some of the offending tabs after a few minutes of me trying to unsuccessfully interact with them.

I certainly hope that this gets fixed as Chrome runs quite well on weak hardware, like me EEE notebook. However, I don’t appreciate overheating one of my cores all night long for doing nothing.
