The atlantic article uses a full core and makes infinite network requests

See screenshot. It appears to all be ads loading. Gets worse as you scroll the page.

It seems that either CPU or network intervention we have discussed where we throttle/pause pages that use too much would have triggered on this page and made it a better experience.

rschoen: assigning to you for initial triage.

Definitely seems like a candidate for throttling/pausing. Do we have a sense of whether those resources are being requested by iframes or things in the top-level page? I'm also a little less concerned about what this page might do when you're reading it vs. when it's backgrounded, so hopefully our background tabs work can alleviate some of the pain here.

The capping heavy pages feature under development could help at least with the networking aspect of this.

Blocking this on capping heavy pages launch bug. I believe once that launches, this can be duped to it, but I'd like to keep this open to verify that later.

I verified that capping heavy pages catches this and allows users to pause the network spam. I'm duping it to the launch bug.
