> 100GB of memory would be trivial at work, but this was my home machine with 16GB of RAM. And since Chrome needs 12GB of that, my actual memory budget was more like 4GB. Anything in excess of that would have to go to disk (the spinning rust kind).

I hope this is a joke, although it's a little scary totalling up how much Chrome is chewing right now, with just one window and seven tabs open...
