• Chrome slow as balls

Chrome used to be really fast for me. Even since i switched from Windows 8 to 8.1 (complete reinstall), when i have a bunch of tabs open and then try to switch to one of the open tabs that i haven't opened before that session i'll have a white page for ~10 seconds and disk usage goes absolutely crazy: [img]http://i.imgur.com/5opMyo7.png[/img] The C drive is a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD on which chrome is installed, D and E are both 1TB Spinpoint F3's with a system managed page file on them. After the white goes away i can switch between tabs pretty much instantly, until i either restart chrome (tabs are saved), hibernate my pc or simply don't open that tab for a while [editline]4th July 2014[/editline] Chrome version 37.0.2062.3 dev-m (64-bit)
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;45290097] this issue isn't present for me and i have a seagate 600 mlc ssd so im lost on why this would be happening for you[/QUOTE] I usually have ~30 tabs open at any given time, which used to work fine before i switched to Windows 8.1 During just 'idle' usage of chrome the open files are mostly C:/$LogFile and %localappdata%/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/*.tmp [editline]4th July 2014[/editline] I also noticed a lot of chrome processes will keep running after closing: [img]http://i.imgur.com/9HmLxPc.png[/img] [editline]4th July 2014[/editline] nvm the running processes, turns out there's a checkbox that keeps the background extensions running after chrome closes
