Google Chrome becomes unresponsive when visiting The Guardian website

Reported by yan.mosy...@gmail.com, Jan 24 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to https://www.theguardian.com/international

What is the expected behavior?
Browser correctly renders the page with reasonable amount of time and resources

What went wrong?
Browser begins using CPU and memory resources heavily until the whole UI becomes very slow to respond to input and the UI is not updated frequently (appears frozen at times). It's not possible to close the tab during some time while the page is being rendered.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

I'm using the "Ignore GPU blacklist" flag because my system uses AMD switchable graphics and it's currently being forced to use software rendering which is much higher on resources and thus battery usage.

However, the same behavior is observed with software rendering as well. I'm attaching debug logs with both blacklist disabled (*gpu.*) and enabled (*software.*). I let the browser sit on the page for some time and then closed the browser.

The issue was reproduced with latest Chrome Canary build available - 58.0.2990.0 and clean user profile. I disabled sandbox to allow for render process logging.

I'm using latest (i)GPU drivers available from the OEM's website.

Please let me know if there are any additional logs I can provide to help you troubleshooting this. Thanks.
