Max memory usage of a chrome process (tab) & how do I increase it?
google-chrome, http, https, memory, ssl
Solution
By default v8 has a memory limit of 512MB on 32-bit systems, and 1.4GB on 64-bit systems. The limit can be raised by setting `--max_old_space_size` to a maximum of 1024 (1 GB) on 32-bit and 4096 (4GB) on 64-bit. You should be able to set this parameter when launching Chrome from a shell in Linux, or as an argument to the shortcut path in Windows.
Problem
I am running several thousand https clients through chrome on one tab, I seem to be hitting a limit in the browser, when I check task manager the chrome process for that tab is using a whopping 897MB so I am assuming there is some sort of limit (900MB~). Are there any chrome wizards around that could explain this? Also it would be ideal if I could increase the max limit so I am able to run more clients through a single tab.
