thehill.com using >100% CPU and >3gb of memory in v8 heap

Project Member Reported by ojan@chromium.org, Aug 12 2017

Issue description

http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/346151-alt-right-plans-free-speech-march-against-google

This page is currently using 3.2gb of memory for me and using a ~130% CPU even when backgrounded. Looking at a traced, it's a bunch of 2 second long V8 GCs.

It has a 2.6gb V8 heap. So it's likely that there's a leak. Not sure if it's on our side or the page's.

Makes sense that the GCs are long given the size of the heap, but we should protect users against this. It was sitting there chewing up CPU, turned my fan on and is using a huge chunk of my memory.

See attached memory and cpu traces.

Looks like the timers are doing a lot of work and time-budget-based throttling is not active. We need better visibility to understand what's going on, both locally (better tracing) and remotely (measure opt-out effects in histograms).
