Slacker Radio in Chromium is a cpu cycle and resource hog. It actually used up all of my RAM and started accessing swap. I haven't had any app access swap in as long as I can remember on this system.

 

I'm running Slacker Radio on Seamonkey now. It handles this Flash hog better than Chromium.

EDITED to remove those d*mn ubb codes that keep getting added here when I post data copied from my Terminal. :(

PCLinuxOS uses a lot of memory.

Linux tends to use what you offer it. Notice that your PCLinuxOS is caching RAM; nearly 4Gig of it.
