Optimizing chrome?

[Slimez]

So, i have 8 cores, 16gb ram, 240gb SSD and a r9 290. Yet, sometimes, chrome isn't running as smooth as I would want... (omfg Tumblr?!) The problem isn't that I want it to use less resources, I want it to use MORE, assuming that it would increase performance.

So my question to you, beautiful human, is: Any tips on ways to increase performance? Any way/extention that will make my experience better?

Thanks.

Threaded compositing Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS: Threaded compositing will launch a secondary thread on multicore systems dedicated to webpage compositing. Enabling this option may result in smoother scrolling, even if the main thread is busy with other processing duties.

Task manager right click all chrome (alot) process priority -high 

but i would recommend putting windows explorer on extreme  if you don't windows mouse might lag a bit.

Used this "guide", not sure if it's placebo or not but it seems smoother. Although i'm sure that images load a lot faster, I had fb, twitter, forum and netflix open, opened 10 tumblr tabs of random peoples archives (with a bunch of images and gifs across the screen) and they actually loaded a lot faster.

As long as you're happy with the experience, it dossn't matter if it's an actual boost or not right? It's like lowering a car but driving at the same speed, feels faster anyway.
