[Bug 480497] Re: Various applications freeze on exit.

[Terry Herckenrath]

This problem happens to me when running multiple tabs (10) in Chrome all
running the same web page which uses Javascript to access the Google
geocoding api. The page doesn't use Flash or sound.

After a number of hours Chrome becomes unresponsive and when I close
Chrome I can hear heavy disk activity that doesn't stop until I
terminate the chrome process in System Monitor, which usually takes two
attempts before the process is actually killed.

This leads me to wonder whether this may be caused by Javascript memory
leaks...

When this problem occurs my memory consumption is over 50% of available
memory (I only have 1 Gig) and processor loads hovers around 20% (single
64-bit AMD) with no other user programs running other than Chrome and
System Monitor.
