Went to this page and watched working set memory go from around 200 mb to 1.2 gig, down to 600 mb and now up to 2.0 gb. Disabled all other extensions to isolate problem. This is one hungry piggy

After a few minutes got the aw Snap! feature...haven't seen that in awhile.

FYI

I got to say that I've never heard anyone use "piggy" that way before. It's interesting...

The runaway memory consumption issue has happened on some other pages before. I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but there's some autoplaying algorithm causing something in the page OR extension to misbehave.

P.S. "OR" denotes boolean OR.
