Just a place for me to keep track of contributed memory to web pages over time. I consider the contributed memory to web pages to be more important than the own memory footprint. Unfortunately it is not possible for a user to see how much memory overhead an extension contributes to a web page, without running a benchmark like the one here. Keep in mind the results here are only for **one simple web page.**

Using [Acid Test 3](http://acid3.acidtests.org/), a rather simple web page, with embedded `iframes`. Web page was opened in a new tab for each extension (important), after a browser restart.

1. Click _"Stats for nerds"_ in _"Task Manager"_: _"About memory"_ opens

I found this was now necessary as it appears Chromium's garbage collector has become rather lazy. The above steps forces it into action.

Observations:
Last time I ran this benchmark [was on Chromium 34 64-bit](./%C2%B5Block-vs.-ABP:-efficiency-compared#added-memory-footprint-to-web-pages), and it does appear that Chromium 37 is causing web pages to consume more memory -- reference result went from ~17 MB to ~22 MB.
