There is a known bug for low-ram machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603 But I've not hit this with my machine (4GB RAM) with multiple tabs open, although shockwave can eat CPU time at a silly rate if it gets upset. (See comment #4 from Chad Miller). Last update I had from Chad (canonical guy who looks after Chromium in the standard repos) was that he was going to try to get chromium v27 to build for a 32 bit machine (v25 was the last that could successfully do so).
I use the dev version of Chromium from alex at https://launchpad.net/~a-v-shkop/+archive/chromium-dev I've chatted with him several times in the past and he a decent guy. Lubuntu are seriously considering switching back to firefox now that it has been on the low-fat diet and handles low ram machines better and that we want to include ORCA usability come 14.04.
