Which OS are you using now on your iMac? I am still on Lion which while old and needing an upgrade, gives me a lot of tools for monitoring memory use etc. I was talking to one of the Genii in the apple store a few weeks ago and he said the newer OS's (El Capitan and Sierra) are taking this away as they don't want users poking around in there. El Cap still has some memory/resource visibility tools but Sierra removes these completely, which I feel is a particularly poor way to go…
To answer your question, I wouldn't expect you to see any change in terms of Chrome/Safari in day to day use, but by the same token I'm not advocating you need to stop using Chrome, it's fine.

Thanks for that Mark. I'm using OS X Yosemite which seems to work fine with Chrome but I don't leave my iMac on all the time. It's on all during the day (natch) but it gets switched off at night so I guess it's running for half the time that yours is.
I've found that my Ax account is geared up for Chrome with a two tier security regime. I have to plug a little widget into a usb port to enable my Ax Google account, which works with Chrome but not on Safari and for that I've got a series of pass codes to enter. Every time I clean up the iMac (delete cookies, trash, downloads etc) I have to reuse the widget - Rob
I no longer work for Axminster Tools & Machinery.
