My Google+ has been very slow on Google Chrome for quite some time now. When i try the Explore option it scrolls like a snail moving up on a tree for me. And quite recently (Today) it became unbearable. So i decided i have to do something about it. Hence i Goggled it.
Found a couple of good solutions and tried them all.
And disable the heck out of the plugins.
As you can see i disabled almost all plugins i can continue live without 'After Earth'. Didn't help 1 bit.
It contained a serious text "Jokes aside". OMG! this is serious stuff..
So i was wondering what to do with it. After some careful consideration i decided to ignore it.
I went ahead and i tried these 2 things one by one. I had to restarted my browser a couple of times for this.
This actually worked a lot better than the default state. The source of this solution which i have mentioned below was scrolling much faster for me after this.
But even this didn't improve the situation in Google+ Explore much so finally i took the 3rd solution provided as a hidden solution in the post mentioned above.
I changed my web Browser.
And the truth : "My Google+ Explore is moving like knife on butter paper".
OK its not the complete truth. But i bet you its working much much faster in comparision to Google Chrome.
I am not planning on switching to Firefox full time. I will be back to chrome once they have a fix for this problem.
But lately they have been pretty rough on Resources.
All major tabs in Google Chrome take over 50Mb's of space Which is quite a lot: if you have like 10 Google+ tabs you are down by Half a GB of Space.
I don't know how exactly Google Chrome manages storage but if its all in RAM or even partially in Virtual memory or swap space then also its a lot of memory and that is bound to slow down the system over time.
