Since changing swappiness has helped that's great. I haven't really looked
at disk activity because I have a laptop that has just one LED :(
If you know of something (other than Conky) do share. Ideally it should be
an applet so it's always visible even with maximized windows.
This oldish link explains why there are multiple processes:
http://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/multi-process-architecture.html
In case that doesn't answer your question, Chromium should have its own
task manager (accessed by clicking on the "three hot dogs", tools, task
manager or just shift+escape).
I don't know of any way to make top focus on one or a selected group of
processes.
