Synopsis
For the past few weeks, i've really started to notice a process on my machine hitting the CPU. So today I have taken a look into it, to find that Chrome is running about 100% CPU.
- Is there any known bugs that may explain this? Or
- Is there a method for me to resolve this?
I do not have any extensions installed, it's a recent clean install with no extensions.

Use Chrome's built-in task manager to see what part of Chrome (page, plugin, etc) is using CPU.
To access it, just press Shift+Escape (or right click the window decoration and select Task Manager)
