goobling

Consuming large quantities of computer resources when running a web 2.0 style application. These resources may be memory, hard drive space, and commonly bandwidth due to "chatty" service calls.

The application loads lots of images at once and it was goobling my connection with TCP requests. Also, the image proxy had a memory leak which was goobling the web server.
