I'll try that killall method, thanks!
I ALWAYS leave my browser open, usually with 4-6 tabs, certain tabs I hit
daily, so why close em.. I started using Chrome because iceweasel was doing
the same thing to my CPU, but it seems to have stopped.
right now, using atop, I see chrome is using 20% of my cpu, Xorg is 16%, but I
am streaming audio from chrome.
