Seriously, how does such a memory hogging program still manage to run on 64 megabytes of ram?!

Chrome on my main computer: 2.5+ gb of ram in use.

Chrome on my oldest computer: ~15 mb of ram in use.

Not to mention the speed difference of the processors.

Main PC: 3.4 ghz

Old PC: 166 mhz

I understand why it suffers, but seriously, Google, why does your browser eat so much memory on everything besides that computer?!
