I encountered this issue on a fresh moode 7.1.0 install.
My hardware is a Pi 3B+ with official 7" DSI touchscreen and HiFi berry AMP2.
In addition to the sudden memory usage increase of chromium after some time I noticed the CPU usage to be significantly higher all the time compared to 6.7.1.
I'm seeing ~18% on 6.7.1 vs ~ 79% on 7.1.0 (just after booting and stays at this level for minutes).
Moreover I installed different browsers and updated chromium on 7.1.0 - didn't make a difference, at least considering the high CPU usage. With different browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi, Midori) the UI is very unresponsive right from the beginning and CPU load is even higher (ranging from 90% to well above 130%), so I didn't check about memory usage spiking.
As last test I updated the whole Raspi OS via apt update && apt upgrade to 10.9 - also didn't make a difference.
So has anybody else made progress investigating this?
For now I restored my backup of 6.7.1.
