I mostly ignored it for a while and tried to get on with doing my work, but about an hour or so after, my computer just died.<\/p>\n<p>After rebooting and experiencing the same slowness, I took a quick glance at my CPU usage. Surprisingly, with only 3 programs open (Chrome Stable, Chrome Canary, and Sublime Text 3), my task manager reported my CPU usage consistently at 100%. Closing Chrome Canary caused the CPU to instantly drop to between 10% and 19%. That&#8217;s when I remembered that I had updated Chrome Canary about an hour ago. I tried opening Chrome Canary again, let all my tabs load, and the same consistent spike at 100% appeared again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_336\" style=\"width: 422px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jayhuang.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chrome-Canary-CPU-spike.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336\" class=\"size-full wp-image-336\" alt=\"CPU spiking up when Chrome Canary is launched, stays at 100%, then drops back after terminating\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jayhuang.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chrome-Canary-CPU-spike.png\" width=\"412\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jayhuang.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chrome-Canary-CPU-spike.png 412w, http:\/\/www.jayhuang.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chrome-Canary-CPU-spike-269x300.png 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CPU spiking up when Chrome Canary is launched, stays at 100%, then drops back after terminating<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The tabs I have open in Chrome stable and Chrome Canary are mostly the same. I dedicate one to my development work and emails, and the other to my personal projects and emails, along with a few articles from Hacker News for a later read. The CPU usage of both builds has always been similar for me, so it seems pretty clear that this recent build has some major issues.<\/p>\n<p>Some other issues I experienced while using this build: when I go on Gchat or Facebook chat, type something, then tab out to another program, then return to chat, nothing I type shows up. Major annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>Just thought I&#8217;d write a quick post about it in case anyone experiences similar issues, though something this big will likely be fixed in a new build tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a quick post about some issues I&#8217;ve been having with the recent update to Chrome Canary.
