Describe the current behavior
As of today, Google Colab is completely unusable. I've been working on the same notebook for this week, and everything was working find until today. Now, when I try to load in a relatively small Pandas dataframe from a CSV file on my Google Drive (~100MB), I cannot print any outputs. Specifically:

df.head()

causes this error:

and in the console:

I get the same error if I try to render any Plotly plots as well.

Other cells are taking excessively long to run. Sometimes it is timing out and Chrome raises the "Exit page" error.

Furthermore, it seems that Colab is throttling other apps such as Chrome; when I have the notebook open, typing is delayed, my mouse is lagging, pages are taking longer to respond, etc. It seems to be using 3GB of RAM just for this notebook to load a small CSV file; this seems excessive?

Describe the expected behavior
I expect Colab to be able to handle a small Pandas dataframe without issue.
