Poll: How many tabs do you have open now?

On my desktop, 289, spread around 15 windows (Chrome takes up about 3GB of RAM) On my laptop, 120, spread around 3 windows (Chrome takes up about 1.5GB of RAM, (Mac OS X)performance gets really bad after 10 hours of running, and I usually restart Chrome a couple of times during the day because of this)

I use instapaper to "save and remove" articles from my tabs, so none of these are articles.

It's a real problem. I have regular "cleaning" sessions where I check every tab and determine its faith. But, much like trying to get inbox zero, this almost never completely works and soon it's ballooning again.

I feel the same, this morning I had like 60 within a few windows and already made my Macbook Pro become very slow. Especially because a few have flash video loaded or flash and HTML5 elements.

It's really pretty abysmal. I, too, have an MBP. There's 2GB free RAM left, and browsing is basically all I do, yet it feels continually sluggish. Makes you think you're using a netbook ;-)
