Same here, memory drastically increased as page was left open and eventually went to swap. Linux 3.17.3-1-ARCH with Chromium 38.0.2125.122 (290379) (64-bit).


Sorry about this, my guess is it's the slideshow on the homepage -- there's about 30MB of gifs in that slideshow (terrible, I know), and it should be "lazily loading" them in, but it looks like there might be a bug with either the slider code or the way I'm doing it because it keeps taking up more memory the longer you have the homepage open. It's on my bug list.
