Google Chrome is hogging up CPU Usage

When I'm running Google Chrome my CPU usage goes up to 90% or even 100! This gets annoying when watching a video when it's lagging. Anyway to fix this?

I'm using a dell mini 10v, 1.6GHz Intel Atom with Windows XP Service Pack 3 Home Edition.

Try using a different browser maybe...





I've had problems with google chrome being slow lately as well, so I switched to Midori. It's not as full-featured, but it's very fast, and it seems to have a windows version. Find it here.

Yeah... when I try to log in with Midori, I been getting a error,

Code
Error - http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=login

The page 'http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=login' couldn't be loaded.

Connection terminated unexpectedly


but when I don't type in anything in the username and passwords fields and just click log-in, I don't get a browser error. (of course you can't longin:P).
Just try Firefox then. I've never had any la problems with it, nor does it use 100% CPU.
maybe you should just accept that youtube videos cannot play smoothly on netbooks :V
The YouTube issue is probably because you're running YT's HTML5 player, which sucks up CPU like nobody's business.

Youtube videos play fine. Just sometimes Google chrome is using 100% of CPU for no reason.

No I'm using youtube's adobe flash player.

Also, I'm using Firefox and CPU usage is pretty decent (it's around 10%).
Then I don't know what the issue is. Chrome is using up hardly 10% of mine, and I've been using it for over a year.

You should all know that there's two problems with Chrome currently: Extensions are memory hoggers, and it's older versions ain't super stable.

I'm running Dev all day, and it works like a charm.
