  To answer my own question: Flash appears in Chrome's built-in task
manager (Page menu -> Developer -> Task Manager).  If you kill that
task, all Flash objects disappear from all tabs and are replaced with
a "sad broken plugin" icon.  The tabs all sprout an information bar
saying the plugin crashed.  Reloading a tab re-instantiates the Flash
object, restarting the task if needed.

  The built-in task manager is nice because you can easily tell which
tab it is that is slowing everything down.
