latest chromium-browser using high cpu on any page

[Jordan]

I would hesitate to make Chromium "standard" until the browser is 
demonstrated to be compatible with most popular Chrome plug-ins 
(especially security plugins.)  Sure, Chromium might be a good 
alternative for lower spec machines.  Still many lubuntu users will end 
up removing the Chromium package pronto, as I did with older lubuntu 
releases.  Maybe it'd be better to offer users a choice between Chromium 
and FF.  Can this be done through the software center?  I don't use the 
software center, so I don't know its possibilities.
