<div>NaCL (salt, sodium chloride) is their
GL helper for local gpu acceleration. Youtube video acceleration,
gaming stuff, anything that needs hardware-ish interactions use
it.<br>
<br>
It shouldn't be spawning randomly, if it is, might want to figure
out what is invoking it, could be bad as gpu's do things like
bitcoin generation. Wouldn't surprise me some worm infects you
and uses you to start computing hashes.<br>
<br>
I disable gpu acceleration under chrome|chromium, nothing good
comes about with my ever leaving it on, oddly disabling it invokes
bugs that break it more depending on your version of chrome (see
ulimit issues).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

The difference seems to be whether or not you intended it to run.<br>
there is also some issue with nacl and nacl-helper that comes
about with Google's development process. I did not understand the
references. <br>
