Bug#633760: [chromium] Chrimium as CPUburn?

[David Baron]

Package: chromium
Version: 12.0.742.112~r90304-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Summertime and things get warm. I will occasionally get some thermostatically, 
maybe erroneous reports of CPU speed being throttled because of temperature 
above threshhold, then immediately back to norml. More occasionally, these are 
accompanied by an unspecified hardware error which is scary.

Seem when Chromium is running, this occurs regularly and the application will 
frequently freeze up at this point. Has to be killed.
