That what I though when I used Chromium on my main computer. I looked on
gnome-system-monitor and yes the memory usage was huge. However, I think
there is a problem how gnome-system-monitor manage cpu usage of
Chromium. You can see a explanation of here :
http://blog.chromium.org/2008/09/google-chrome-memory-usage-good-and-bad.html

I also think there is a problem with 64 bits (my main system) and if you
enable the option "Reopen the pages that were open last".

But, if you read my benchmark [1], I didn't see this huge memory usage.
I also done some real testing (2 weeks of real usage) on a small PC, and
never had huge memory usage, like I saw on my main system.
