memory leak

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open Chrome task manager
2. open new tab in Chrome
3. browse to http://www.google.com/
4. set 5 second refresh
5. monitor task manager Memory column for the tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The memory allocation increases by at least 1 megabyte per refresh. More 
complex pages increase by more. An example is the IPoSN extension of 
Facebook which increases by 5--10 megabytes per refresh.

ChromeReload 0.5
Google Chrome 5.0.375.38 beta
Windows XP Pro SP3

This has nothing to do with ChromeReload.
It's a memory-leak in Chromium.
The same thing happens when you reload a page without the extension.
Added a issue to Chromium.

WontFix - this is a Chrome problem, as snow.adeka points out. Once it is fixed 
in Chrome it should be fine here,too.

Couldn't chrome-reload work around this chrome memory bug by having an option 
to "refresh" into a new tab. If chrome reload could open a new tab and close 
the last one (as an option), chrome would not have to remember any of the tabs 
history.
