Chromium taking 150% cpu after page load

[lemonsqueeze]

- Open https://www.facebook.com/U2
- Chromium continues to take 150% cpu after page finishes loading.

Running Ubuntu 14.04 Mate desktop here.
This happens with latest Chromium 53.0.2785 package and earlier versions as well.

I can replicate the issue in Ubuntu Mate 14.04 and 16.04 LiveCDs:
Just boot, apt-get update and apt-get install chromium-browser from it.

Also happens in Lubuntu 16.04 but *not* in regular 14.04 / 16.04 Ubuntu LiveCDs, so could be Gnome / Unity related.

Xubuntu 16.04 is affected as well.

Can replicate in regular Ubuntu 16.04.1 LiveCD if Unity is not running:

Boot LiveCD, kill Unity and switch to minimal desktop as in:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/833868/way-to-run-ubuntu-livecd-without-unity/833962#833962

Start Chromium from there and open facebook page, takes 150% cpu after page load.

Looks like it needs something from Unity or it's not happy...
