I notice I can't get much info on processes associated with the chromium browser, whether I am looking at gnome-system-monitor
, top
, or the like. Any process associated with chromium
reads as chromium-browse
. Obviously it would be helpful to know which tab or sub-process might be responsible for laggy behavior. Is there a character limit on process names, or was chromium
designed to list processes like this?

Why not just use the built-in chrome's task manager? It can display easily which extension, which app, which tab is using how much memory.
Menu -> More Tools -> Task Manager
or Shift+Esc

Fair enough. I was hoping I'd be able to do at-a-glance diagnostics with
conky
, but this should work.– cfye14Sep 30, 2015 at 17:56
You can use htop
instead of top. First, install htop:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install htop
Then, start htop with sudo:
sudo htop
There are many options. Press F3 to search for a process. Press the S key to run strace on a selected process.

Thx. This may be prove useful in the future. For a quick look at memory-hogging tabs, the built-in task manager is what I'm looking for. Any chance you can give me a tl;dr on what to learn from a strace?– cfye14Sep 30, 2015 at 20:59
