I noticed by using the Activity Monitor that the Flash player in Chrome often used most resources (both CPU and RAM) on my Macbook Air. Also, the Chrome Task Manager indicated the same thing. I uninstalled Flash on my computer, but then realized that Flash is apparently integrated in Chrome, so even if you uninstall it, it's still there. But you can disable it in Chrome. Seems like my computer runs much faster since then (I usually have a lot of tabs open...). Anyone have a similar experience?
Dual boot it with Windows 7 using Boot Camp. Problem solved and you have a better OS on a great piece of hardware. ;-)
I'm running Lion with and the Chrome's flash is using 30MB of memory and .7 CPU, which isn't bad. Make sure you are running the latest Chrome version. I'm running Chrome 16.0.912.63. The shockwave version that I'm running is version 11.1.102.55.
is google chrome pre installed? I don't ever use it. My mac has been slow as of late, even though it seemed nothing could slow it down for the longest time since its immune to almost all the viruses and spyware
Same with my Mac. In fact this morning I had a hard drive failure. I know that's not a Mac issue but it's just strange how my hdd went out for the first time. I've never had this kind of problem with pc's. I'm taking it to the apple store on Tuesday and there's no way I'm paying any money to fix it. The computer is just not responding and I can't even access my dock. Luckily I back up everything so that's not a worry, but it's still a pain to deal with.
Seems to be a common problem: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=3acd4740f29eaaa3&hl=en LOL. This thread is like in the top 10 of search results already .
