Google Chrome sucks at freeing ram

[darxus]

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.

Yeah. Chrome has several problems when left open for long periods of time. I... still use it, as Firefox annoyed me more. But come on... this isn't what this era considers a hard problem. :)
