My three laptops have relatively comparable hardware and run Chrome on
Windows, Mac, and Linux respectively.  The Linux version of Chrome
feels ridiculously faster than Windows and Mac.  Do we understand why
this is?  Can we make Windows and Mac feel that fast too?

General observations:

1) Scroll performance is extremely good.  Even on Gmail, I can only
get the mouse to lead the scroll bar by a dozen pixels.  On Slashdot,
it doesn't even look like I can do that.

2) Tab creation is very fast.  Maybe the zygote is helping here?  Can
we pre-render the NTP on other platforms?

3) Startup time is faster than calculator.

Adam
