Dear Google Chrome, Why do you hate my Mac? Every so often the Chrome helper app decides to "help" by sucking all the life from my CPU. WTF?

@mollydotcom that's why someone called @Google the new @Microsoft. Shrugs.

@mollydotcom The helper app is the Chrome daemon that keeps its internal Flash plugin running. Hence also the CPU suck.

@mollydotcom yes! This! Yesterday I discovered I had about 8 helpers and 3 workers running *at the same time*.
