Chrome and high CPU load on MacOSX

I'm using an old 2008 Macbook at home as my couch-computer, and found Chrome using 100% CPU time and again.

Killing the process that produced the load (remember, chrome is multi-threaded) the gmail tab crashed. My old Mac makes a lot of noise being so strained, so I went looking.

And found this.

Basically, some bug in the changing wallpapers of gmail triggered this. I changed my wallpaper back to a basic theme (mahogany) and now the CPU idles, fan stays off, all is good in this world.
