Chrome eats gigs of memory from scratch, how so?

Accidentally discovered that chrome (at least mine: Version 38.0.2125.111 m, i.e. the latest version at the moment, Win7 64, 6GB of RAM) just eats memory incredibly. And the most ridiculous thing is that he does this when opening any (!) Site, even without opening it - on the start window. To do this, simply change the size of the browser window with the mouse, dragging the right edge back and forth 100 times. For the experiment, open the task manager nearby and observe the schedule of the RAM used. Drag back and forth the size of the chrome window horizontally and watch. After a few seconds, the graph will go up and will go until it eats a giga and a half or two. Then it won't grow. Next, you release chrome, but the RAM is not restored to its previous level. You open a new site, but the RAM is not restored. In short, while chrome is completely (! ) do not close, do not hope that the RAM will be restored. With firefox, this trick does not work. So the question is: what is it?

Well, your chrome cheers, on poppies it doesn't cheer. What to do? For starters, you could google. Then either roll back to the previous version or try 32 bits.

- chrome://memory-redirect/ - go to the studio or see which process/extension is eating memory
- Or rename the chrome profile to *.bak for example and start an empty chrome, if everything is fine, then re-sync and see if there is a problem. Then see the first option.
