On my 2GB netbook, chrome has gone from my preferred browser to unusable due to the high memory footprint of recent builds. One killer is the GPU process often taking 200+MB.
Before giving up, and switching to FF, I tried the --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer switches to disable the GPU process but that prevented videos from playing at full speed.
