Browser slows to a halt; input events, UI actions, and typing seem to block on slow disc access |
|||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: Chrome/54.0.2840.98 OS: OSX 10.12.1 What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Heavy usage of tabs & leaving Chrome open for multiple days What is the expected result? Responsiveness similar to Chrome on fresh profile, fresh startup What happens instead? Browser slows to a halt. Input events, UI actions, and typing lag heavily. Clicking on a new tab, for example, will cause entire browser to pause for 10-20 seconds, then page loads normally. Typing in an input box will often introduce 10 second lags (although characters seem to be buffered and appear almost instantly after lag). Scrolling also introduces long delay. Browsing is almost impossible. Capturing a trace took over an hour and failed twice. During lag events, I can hear disc access, which may be a sign of excessive paging or thrashing... (iMac hard drive has been previously tested at Apple Store with no issues found.) I have an unscientific hunch that lag is worse on pages which are cached, also making me wonder whether its an issue with disc access. Restarting the browser (and/or logging out and logging back in on OSX) usually fixes issue for period of time. Attached trace captures a period of time during which lag events happened frequently.

I see. Would any of that info appear in a trace (perhaps with different capture settings)? This issue doesn't seem tab specific--are there generic Helpers that could be consuming the most amount of memory?

There's a "memory-infra" box in the right column you can select, but it's currently still emitting less-than-comprehensive information, so we still need the activity monitor memory tab snapshot.

Couple notes: 1) the trace is a bit long in time, if do you capture another one I'd say try to get it <10s 2) wondering if this is related to issue 685760. is this device an Air? 3) your chrome is 2 versions out of date :)

Talked to Seth offline, it's not an Air but a 2010 iMac.
