As the number of downloads increases, chromium starts behaving badly

I use plug-ins that can be used to download all the pdfs, images, mpgs, ... in a web tree.  This can lead to a large number of downloads when I don't specify a good pattern.  As the number of downloads goes up, clearing the download data takes longer and longer as does shutting down and starting up (I started Cent and it took 23 minutes before I could actually use the browser).  I have seen this behavior in other chromium-based browsers so I think it is a fault in the chromium engine.  

My question/enhancement would be to have a limit to the number of items in the download area where as a download is added to the history file, the oldest download is removed if there are more than the limit.

I am using version 5.1.1130.129 of Cent.

Found out it's much faster to just uninstall Cent and re-install, re-customize, add plugins, ... than to actually try to handle the download issue.

chrome://downloads/ just go to the downloads page, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and clear the downloads list there

oh yeah, and one more thing, you can use third party downloaders like IDM
it will grab downloads and they will not be saved in history
