Your RAM or your System Speed?

Chrome for Windows 10 RAM-reducing feature roadblocked by Google
Google decided to disable a RAM-reducing feature for Chrome because it slows down systems.

I guess these things are often a trade-off.
Another article pointed out that most users are less likely to notice the CPU hit than the memory improvement, which is probably fair.I had a quick search and couldn't find any articles complaining about the same with Edge.

And now for the regularly scheduled TDWTF shitposting:
Youtube loading endscreen ad in Chrome 81 and failing for some reason.

@loopback0 With the speed of current PCs, would they really notice the CPU hit? Chrome is such bloatware. A browser should not gobble up 2GB of RAM just to load half a dozen tabs.

Probably not?
The CPU issue was discovered by an Intel engineer who found that when Chrome used segment heap, it led to significant performance regression in benchmarks on a PC with an Intel Core i9-9900K processor. Depending on the benchmark, CPU performance was degraded between 10% to 13%, Google found.

Do we need to point the obvious?

It's the tabs that never release memory and end up holding onto 1,5GB that are the real problem. Although 100MB a tab is kind of ridiculous and unhelpful when you have 40 tabs open.

I have 8GB of RAM dedicated to my Windows VM and over half of it is in use (16GB total in laptop)...most of that is being used by Chrome. I just took that screen shot and Chrome is the only application I have running, aside from background processes.
EDIT: With 16 tabs open.
EDIT 2: Changed total RAM amount. I'm running Windows in Parallels on my work Mac Book Pro.

@boomzilla how many tabs is that? 1, 4, 25? Do I need to add all of these together or is the first the total?

So not only does it swallow RAM like a black hole, it needs a friggin i9 and you still notice performance regressions?
And people tell me herp derp, Firefox slow, Chrome the best!

Uh...between 10 and 15, probably. I have no idea how to interpret those numbers, TBH.
