is there an "Extended" task manager that adds the tab name in a Task Manager ?
the 952k tab may just be something stupid , but I have no how to find out !
If I understand what you are trying to do, hit Shift-Escape in Chrome and it will pop up a windows showing what each of your tabs is consuming. You can select a tab and click on the End Process button to close it.

As I type this, my Gmail tab is north of 1GB of memory, for example.
