How are you measuring the amount of memory Chrome takes? Do you calculate PSS somehow? It is quite non-trivial to determine this number, due to the complexity of memory allocation.

Roughly adding up the amount of memory that all the Chrome processes seen in the Windows task manager report using.

In hindsight I should have clarified that this was not intended to be a dig against chrome. I've frequently got hundreds of tabs open, because with the amount of memory I've got, why not?

Hundreds of tabs shouldn't consume significantly more than 2GB unless you are running demanding webapps.
