My tab CPU reliably goes to 100% on specific websites

Project Member Reported by rdsmith@chromium.org, Jun 3 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 67.0.3396.62 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Mac OS X 10.13.4

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Visit https://engdoc.corp.google.com/eng/doc/devguide/cpp/styleguide.shtml?cl=head
(2) Open the Task manager (or wait for the fan to spin up)
(3)

What is the expected result?

Looks like a static web page, should quack like a static web page.  

What happens instead?

Cpu goes to just under 100% and stays there.



Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

The obvious thought here is that this is a bug on that specific web site.  But this has happened to me with other websites (specifically https://worldofsolitaire.com/, and less reproducibly subframe https://googlesyndication.com) and it started happening everywhere at the same time, leaving me to think that there's a reasonable chance it's chrome, not the underlying web sites.  Also, when I got it from a Google website, I figured it was worthwhile filing a bug even if it did turn out to be a problem with the site and not chrome.

(Sorry, Erik, since I'm not sure of the component, I'm ccing in someone who might be able to help :-} :-|.)

Add individual comics from "agirlandherfed.com" to the "pretty consistently peg the CPU meter" list.  E.g. http://agirlandherfed.com/1.1284.html.

Somewhat worrisome variant: I had task manager running, not showing any spiking tabs, but the fan on my laptop was still going strong.  So I brought up activity manager, and it showed a Google Chrome Helper at 99% CPU.  That made me nervous (I was afraid it was malware hiding from the task manager in some fashion) so I just nuked the process from activity manager.

I second that bug on OSX solely (Windows is fine). Many of our customers are reporting 100% CPU usage on pages that use websockets.

Huh, interesting.  I'm 90% sure that I checked on my Windows machine, and still saw 100% CPU.  The fan didn't speed up because the machine already had beefier cooling, though.

Websockets, huh?
