Comment 9 for bug 858775

This bug was causing my laptop (Thinkpad T500) to overheat within 5 minutes every time I started chrome. I've bought a cooling pad but it's not helping (the laptop still shuts itself).

I've found out that the issue does not come up when Google Chrome is not connected with a Google account. In other words, as a temporary workaround, one can log out of synchronisation. I don't see gnome-keyring-daemon hogging CPU any more with this option turned off.
