If you want to try Emacs running in Chrome (using NaCL):

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/naclports/builds/pe...

You have to go to chrome://flags/ and enable "Native Client" and restart Chrome.

At that point I thought it had failed, but after about a minute emacs came up. On OSX it seems to use about 215-240 MB, vs anywhere from 50-200 MB for my other chrome tabs.

Anyone have crouton handy to compare the overhead?
