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.

You, my friend, are an exception.

Most Flash and JavaScript is crap, and only makes things worse. (although shinier)

And, the fact you wrote it in vi makes it by my definition, OK.
