I checked the PID (375) in Google Chrome's own task manager, and it is GPU Process. I upgraded to OS X 10.9 yesterday, and since then, one Google Chrome Helper is constantly red in Activity Monitor. Or, Chrome Browser is rendering a graphics-intensive page, such as a website with 3D images or YouTube videos. The graphics processing unit (GPU) process slows down if there’s an issue with a particular graphics card driver. Isolate Chrome Browser tabs and identify which web apps or webpages are reducing browser performance.
