Google Chrome running super slow

0

Today I started my computer as usual. And opened the Google Chrome browser and found that I was running SUPER slow.

What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Create a new browser window (2) Choose File -> New Tab

What is the expected output?

The NTP page should display instantaneously

What do you see instead?

The NTP takes a full 1 second to appear. By "appear" I mean the new tab appears with blan content instantly, but then you wait 1s for the NTP page contents to finally show up.

Attached is a trace - see pid 47093. It shows two NTP loads, one at 5.5s and the second at 8.5s. It shows the page taking about 200ms to load, followed by a CSS animation that runs for 1.1s (according to the red boxes along the top).


I'm using:

  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Google Chrome v49.0.2623.112 m (64-bit) (last version)
    • Extensions: ad-block
  • PC:
    • CPU AMD FX-8320 (3.5GHz)
    • RAM 8GB

Edit

Is a bug.

1If you boot (Windows) into a minimal configuration does this behavior still exhibit itself? Have you tried running Chrome without any plugins? – Ramhound – 2016-04-09T23:43:26.560

Is Chrome updated to the latest version? – Moab – 2016-04-09T23:45:39.677

@Moab Well Chrome 49 is the current version – Ramhound – 2016-04-10T00:02:04.423

@Ramhound No i didn't try to boot windows with minimal configuration. Yes i tried running chome without any plugins. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:04:06.167

@Moab yes chrome is in the last version. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:04:27.043

@Ramhound i just tried the minimal configuration booting, but the problem persists. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:08:25.320

"Super slow" is really vague. – Ramhound – 2016-04-10T00:22:34.143

@Ramhound I open a new tab and i need to wait 4 tics to start writing. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:25:49.510

You have tried an entirely new profile, not just disabling an add on, but wipe the profile that exists and let chrome create a new one? Have you verified this problem does not exist for Firefox or Edge? – Ramhound – 2016-04-10T00:32:31.710

@Ramhound all that i did it. I checked track issuse of chrome/chromium and im not the only guy how has this problem. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:38:53.797

I updated the post, is a bug of chrome. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:40:41.290

The big seems to indicate it's connect to flash PPAPI – Ramhound – 2016-04-10T00:46:51.803

Is like chinese for me. I did try to disable PPAPI in chrome://flags but didn't fix it. – Mohamed Ziata – 2016-04-10T00:55:28.280
