I run Chrome with
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --renderer-process-limit=9
and it's much better that way: Less total memory consumption and killing a renderer unloads many tabs at once.
It seems to me that the focus on security by isolating every webpage from each other went to far recently. When I started with Chrome I think they used to limit the maximum amount of render processes much more. Of course if there was a serious security hole in e.g. webkit/blink then one tab could have stolen data from another tab more easily. But it consumed much less memory
