It seems to run smoothly for me most of the time, though there are occasional slow moments—usually when the system is busy.
I used to own a powerful i5 2500k with 16GB RAM and an SSD, but it often felt slow (and would crash) when many tabs were open or heavy apps ran at once. That’s why I switched back to IE and never looked back. IE has definitely improved a lot, and I think it works better than Chrome unless you rely heavily on plugins (which I don’t).
It's possible you might have a virus. I've noticed Chrome becomes slower after a while without a virus running.
Verify which tasks are consuming CPU power. It shouldn’t be operating at full capacity when only handling file transfers.
chrome hits me super fast, especially on my 4-year-old pre-built hp machine.
