I ran into a similar problem. I was getting CPU usage spikes and the browser would hang for a few seconds while I tried to open a new tab or if I tried to enter something in the address/search bar. It seems to happen as I keep browsing along normally. I did go into some javascript heavy pages which did not seem to work well with Chrome.
Google Chrome troubleshooting section describes a similar problem and explains that a possible solution is to disable the phishing or malware protection. I tried to disable it but to no avail. I then tried to "clear browsing data" with the following options: -clear browsing history -clear download history -empty the cache And that seems to have done the trick for me. Maybe something to do with the cache. Cheers On Oct 1, 11:53 am, Kirk M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah, that explains it. Many thanks, Eric.
