I've noticed chrome is using quite a bit of my RAM. I've got a total of 8GB and the total consumption of Chrome is around 500mb with just 4 tabs: this one, 2 google tabs and a facebook tab. I've also noticed(using the chrome process manager) that facebook normally uses 150+ mb and the gpu process just a bit more. I've only got 3 plugins running which use about 30mb each so they're not the problem. I realise this is not too much in general, but it is is for a web browser.
I don't know if it's related anyhow but I frequently experience slow downs when surfing, especially on websites like facebook and youtube. Is this normal?

I'm using version 25.0.1323.1 dev-m and I'm on windows 7, 64bit.

Edit: From the comments I understand that it's not something to worry about. I'll close this question and post another regarding the slows because it's not related to this one. Thanks a lot everyone.

  • superuser tab 55MB Yahoo mail window wit hold streamlined interface 60MB. Modern browsers need loads of RAM. 2BG ram would hurt a bit. 500MB (0.5GB) is nothing when you have 8GB So one wonders what the cause of the slowdown is..

My chrome is close to using 2GB with all of its processes together. (although i have 3 windows and a bunch of tabs each)

Its a pretty standard thing for chrome, and other browsers for that matter.
