Google Chrome will finally use less memory on Windows 10

Windows 10 May 2020 Update (also known as 20H1) is the first major upgrade for the OS this year and it has already begun arriving on some PCs. With May 2020 Update, Microsoft has also introduced Windows segment heap memory improvements, which will reduce overall memory usage of Win32 apps such as Google Chrome.

The value “SegmentHeap” is available for developers and Microsoft says that the implementation of this segment value in Win32 apps will reduce overall memory usage on Windows 10 version 2004 or newer.

Microsoft has confirmed that it has already started using SegmentHeap value in Edge browser and early tests show memory reduction of up to 27% on Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

Google has also liked the idea and it plans to update Chrome with similar improvements on Windows 10. In a commit, Chrome engineer notes that adding “SegmentHeap” entry to the chrome.exe manifest will tell Windows 10 version 2004 or newer to opt the browser into using the segment heap instead of the legacy heap.

“Experiments with per-machine opting-in to the segment heap for chrome.exe suggests that this could save hundreds of MB in the browser and Network Service utility processes, among others, on some machines. Actual results will vary widely, with the greatest savings coming on many-core machines,” Google said.

Microsoft and Google also confirmed that the actual results will vary widely, which means individual performance could be lower or higher than 27%, but this change will definitely reduce memory usage to some extent and provide a better experience for everyone.

The Segment Heap improvements require Windows 10 Build 19041.0 SDK support for Chrome, which is currently blocked due to mysterious build failures.

“We could enable it now but that would cause build warnings. Therefore enabling it is blocked on a switch to the Windows 10.0.19041.0 SDK which is currently blocked on some mysterious build failures,” Google noted.

At the moment, it’s unclear when these improvements will land in Google Chrome for Windows 10 version 2004, but more details will be shared in the near future.
