Cool, how to make the browser forget all the tabs _without_ waiting for
a crash!  Unless that does something other than what I think it does?
Also, the GUI is darn near unusable during Chrome's startup due to all
the thrashing.

I'm writing a script that suspends all the chrome 'renderer' process
(SIGSTOP), then resumes them one at a time (SIGCONT), waiting each time
until the load drops.  Takes longer than say an ad break, but much less
time than before.
