Google Chrome sucks at freeing ram

This computer with 8gb ram keeps ending up swapping because of chrome.
I had 48 tabs open, with chrome using 4.2 gigs of ram, copied all the open urls to a file, closed chrome, started it, re-opened all the links, and memory is at 0.8 gigs of ram, in use. 19.0% of what it had been using.
