Chrome is laggy

This is actually a question, not just a statement. I only have three tabs open and chrome is just so sluggish and slow to respond. Are there any modifications I can do to chrome to make it respond better? I'm talking basic things liek scrolling and loading pictures are met with a pause. 

 

The system I am talking about is my laptop. 

Intel Atom N570 1.66 overclocked to 2.0 2 core/4 thread

2gb DDR3 1333

Intel GMA with Sherry for 3150 modified driver

Win 7 32

Screen resolution 1680x1050

 

It's not overheating,

That is an interesting laptop.. but anyway, the amound of RAM in your PC is really low, so you are probably at the point where you are swapping RAM to disk.

Increasing the amount of RAM may help, though 32bit windows is limited to ~3.5GB

Arch Linux on Samsung 840 EVO 120GB: Startup finished in 1.334s (kernel) + 224ms (userspace) = 1.559s | U mad windoze..?

Chrome eats a lot of memory. When I say eats, I mean it's noms it up till there's no more. They best bet is to upgrade to 4 GB ram since that's the max your OS can handle.

I've turned off unnecessary programs and run this computer lean. The page file is not being used as far as I can tell, and it has around 300mb of ram Free.

My laptop doesn't support 4gb SODIMMS so i can only have one stick of 2gb.

Hmm, that is pretty odd indeed, Are there any stray extensions running in chrome that could be causing problems? 

See if opening an incognito window helps any

I'm not too sure then. The most I can think of is not do any multi-tasking and turn off any extension you may not need to free up some ram.

I only run the one extension that shall not be named. Also, Incognito mode seemed to make things worse. Not sure why.

Recently. Also, I disassembled the entire chassis and cleaned it, repasted the CPU and chipset, and lightly oiled the fan.

I bet it's because this computer is weaksauce. I blame the CPU and the single channel memory.

Any chance that it's because of BOINC? Try turning it off temporarily to see if that fixes it, and if so, find the resource sweetspot for browser performance/BOINC performance.

Use Firefox or Opera... no I am serious. Chrome is requires a lot of processing power and memory. But when it has the power, it runs faster in many areas than the 2 mentioned.

 

On low end system, Firefox or Opera will be your best bet.

I had a feeling. Will go back to firefox.

It's always a little sluggish, but yes I did update it last night.
