memory leak #15

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open Chrome task manager
2. open new tab in Chrome
3. browse to http://www.google.com/
4. set 5 second refresh
5. monitor task manager Memory column for the tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The memory allocation increases by at least 1 megabyte per refresh. More 
complex pages increase by more. An example is the IPoSN extension of 
Facebook which increases by 5--10 megabytes per refresh.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ChromeReload 0.5
Google Chrome 5.0.375.38 beta
Windows XP Pro SP3

This has nothing to do with ChromeReload.
It's a memory-leak in Chromium.
The same thing happens when you reload a page without the extension.
Added a issue to Chromium.

WontFix - this is a Chrome problem, as snow.adeka points out. Once it is fixed 
in Chrome it should be fine here,too.

Couldn't chrome-reload work around this chrome memory bug by having an option 
to "refresh" into a new tab. If chrome reload could open a new tab and close 
the last one (as an option), chrome would not have to remember any of the tabs 
history.
