Title:
  chromium hangs my computer when it (chromium) starts

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  
  0. tell the browser to save opened pages at exit and open saved pages at start.

  1. code for a while; also, read stackoverflow, listen to some music,
  find its lyrics, read some news and follow some links on the news
  site. Whenever you need something different, open a new window; while
  searching for that something, open all search results and links in new
  pages; do not close the pages. After a while, you will have a number
  of Chromium windows (I have 19 now, with the number of tabs ranging
  from 4 to 32).

  2. close the browser with Ctrl-Shift-Q

  3. run Eclipse and Code::Blocks (this is what I use for Android NDK
  programming). Run SMPlayer with some music. Run Tortoise HG and open
  some files in Meld. Run another browser (in my case it was red-yellow-
  green Google Chrome, *different* from blueish-blue-blue Chromium -- I
  have both). Optionaly, open a pdf with lyrics, look at it and leave
  opened until better times.

  4. finally, run Chromium.

  Expected: It should start

  Actual: it opens windows but draws nothing. The HDD LED blinks; the
  mouse does not move; no reaction on keyboard.

  It may show a dialog proposing to kill some pages; if you don't agree immediately, your PC will lose responsiveness.
  Once I had to reboot the computer; the last time I managed to close Google Chrome and thus freed some memory.
  It's interesting that it reported newly opened pages as hanging.

  It is possible that some pages start downloads. At least, I see
  messages about unfinished downloads when I try to close the browser.
  (And some pages may be showing poker or even porno -- I have no idea
  what they open in the background.)
