Hi, Phill,

Thanks.

It's chromium "Version 22.0.1229.94 Built on Ubuntu 12.10, running on
Ubuntu 13.04 (161065)" on Lubuntu 13.04  I don't use any Flash, ever.
I'm not sure that any particular page by itself causes the trouble it
seems to be more general to Chromium.  It's not something that comes on
quickly, it's just that over the course of the day, use of Chromium
leads to more and more swap being used until thrashing starts.

A little bit related to this is the failure of some apps (konversation
and sometimes thunderbird) to follow system preferences and launch
http/https URLs in Firefox.  Apps like konversation launch everything in
Chromium regardless of the system settings and apps like thunderbird
launch only https in Chromium and obey the system settings for http.
