Chromium/Google-chrome consume too much CPU on non-privileged user

Hi.

Chromium and Google-chrome both consume 100% CPU while running on Xfce. 100% CPU consumption happens even if I've opened a 'single blank' chromium tab.

Interestingly, when I run chromium as root

chromimum --user-data-dir=$HOME

it acts perfectly normal.

I believe chromium is trying to access some privileged location in a loop and failing to do so. Any idea how to debug this?
