+compositing folks

This sounds pretty bad, can one of you take a look?

Taking this one over. We had an issue with ImageLayer textures not being
freed in the past but I thought it was fixed.

I have been also seeing this bug for about a week on chromium 8 on Linux.
No compositing enabled, but with or without the GPU acceleration google
maps still crashes every time when zooming in or out. Its happening in
chrome beta 7 and chromium 8 for me.

Compositing is currently enabled by default. You could give it a try with
--disable-accelerated-compositing to see how it behaves without it.

I tracked down the issue. The maps site seems to be creating several
fairly large layers (4K x 4K or larger) which ends up sucking up way too
much memory. I'm looking into possible solutions.

64-bit Linux Chrome beta 8.0.552.0 becomes unresponsive if google maps with
satellite imagery is zoomed with mouse-wheel or double-click (slider is
OK). Memory usage seems similar to responsive maps pages.

Also, zoom is noticeably faster/smoother on FF 3.6.10.

Maps page is completely locked for me. Using
--disable-accelerated-compositing fixes the problem ... running 8.0.552.0
dev on Debian testing.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58634

8.0.552.0 dev on Debian:

Zooming in and out on maps.google.com locks up the computer (with 4GB RAM)
completely by overutilizing the memory (thrashing to swap) and the system
does not recover after 20min, even though the syslog says that oom-killer
was invoked:

Out of memory: kill process 13279 (chrome) score 7172096 or a child
Killed process 13279 (chrome) vsz:252164kB, anon-rss:58864kB,
file-rss:10924kB

Strangely, it does not look like much, perhaps there were more such hungry
processes.

The bug is not a simple memory leak, it's an aggressive memory hog: on a
second try I can see a few gigabytes of memory being swallowed
incrementally in a few seconds, while top is not able to show a particular
offending process -- this happens too quickly.

In addition I tried limitting the virtual memory to 1G by "ulimit -v
1048576", then the system is not bogged down, but the tab crashes in a few
seconds and the terminal says:
[24117:24117:7983126455:FATAL:base/process_util_linux.cc(572)] Out of
memory.

--disable-accelerated-compositing seems to help, but the page is not so
responsive (the map emerges slowly with big latency).

I can confirm that this is happening for me both on Google Maps and sites
using the Maps API (such as http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/). I'm
running the latest dev-channel release on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10, and a friend
running it on 32-bit 10.10 has confirmed that he experiences it also.

I'm sure by now the developers are well aware of this bug and are fixing
it. It says it's assigned. Now the only helpful comments would be a .patch
file with a fix.

I have the same problem either with --disable-accelerated-compositing or
without it.
I am running Chromiun 8 and Linux Ming 9. And I have 2g of ram. Can someone
fix it please?

I am on the latest nightly (8.0.561.0 (63476) Ubuntu 10.04) and although I
am no longer seeing my memory use spiral out of control, Google maps
behaves quite sluggishly when zooming in or out - sometimes completely
failing to load the imagery at the new zoom level. Panning, on the other
hand, behaves fine. Could this be a result of the changes you committed?

There's a "fix" that's available in the latest DevChannel build (8.0.552.11
(Official Build 63324)) which improves the situation but unfortunately I
don't think it completely solves the problem. The next DevChannel release
will have accelerated compositing off by default so this problem will go
away (although the underlying issue with the compositor remains and we're
working on it).

I'm re-opening the bug to make sure it doesn't get lost. Marking as M9.

Windows 7 32-bit, reporting in. Seems to be fixed in 8.0.552.200 beta. CPU
(old Pentium D) stays the same, the process doesn't suddenly jump in memory
usage and my machine isn't slowed down much.

You have to turn off the accelerated gpu rendering.Its causing the problem.
I think I read it in some other issue related to this one.

Re: #54, where do you do that? Is there an option in Chrome for that?
Should be noted it works smoothly in all other browsers.

Antonio, where can I get the 9.0.592.0 (66920) release?
I am using "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/" in sources.list, and the
latest is 9.0.587.0-r66374 with this issue :(

I've compiled it myself on my machine - it's not that hard, it only takes
some space and RAM. Here is my setup, in case you find it useful.

It's really weird, no? I switched from Firefox to Google Chrome but Google
Chrome seems to crash all the time, most often on Google's own websites x_0

My maps.google.com crashes as soon as the website is loaded. Have 4GB of
Ram on a double-processor MacBook Pro. Ridiculous.
