Chrome has a built-in Task Manager (Shift+Esc).

One can even see the memory consumption and CPU usage of each tab and extension.

That doesn't work for me on a mac. But what about total usage? If I have to add up the mem used for each tab it won't be helpful.

Find it under Window > Task Manager, or detailed memory usage information by navigating to "chrome://memory"

The latter displays total memory usage at the top of the page.

edit: As child poster noted, total memory is overcounted as it seems to be quite difficult to audit exactly what memory is shared within each child process. (see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25454 )

"Note: This page will show memory use for all running browsers, not just Chrome. (Bug: We seriously overcount our own memory usage: Issue 25454.)"
