[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#756338: memory leak in SVG animations

[Antoine Beaupré]

Package: chromium
Version: 35.0.1916.153-2
Severity: normal

This page makes chromium leak memory like crazy:

http://www.brendangregg.com/HeatMaps/latency.html

A few seconds after starting:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
17003 anarcat   20   0 1086m 113m  27m S  15,6  2,9   0:01.00 chromium

After a minute or two:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
17003 anarcat   20   0 2372m 1,4g  28m S  16,3 35,9   0:20.22 chromium

... and it keeps going.

I have a few extensions installed, namely:

 * http switchboard
 * bookie
 * password hasher plus
 * speed tracer
 * tab menu
 * the great suspender
 * web developer

Also affects wheezy-security.
