Un Check hardware acceleration
To
anyone encountering similar issues... try disabling hardware
acceleration.... it was a tenfold improvement for me on my laptop.
To disable it... type "chrome:settings" in the address bar, click Advanced Settings, then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" under the System header. Close all open Chrome browser instances and restart Chrome.
Chrome had always ran really well for me.... until rather recently. This seemed to fix my biggest problem of late. Give it a shot and let me know... curious how it works for others. Not sure why HW acceleration seems to be the culprit, nor what exactly changed that caused this issue.
Move bookmarks from bookmarks bar to new folder
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a large number of bookmarks and place them on the "bookmarks bar"
2. Attempt to switch tabs
3. Notice the tab switching performance is low
This workaround works:
1) Go to Settings -> Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks.
2) Move all bookmarks in the "Bookmarks Bar" folder into any other folder.
also comments:
"I moved all my bookmarks from the "Bookmarks Bar" to a new folder and performance improved immediately. Moving the bookmarks back to the "Bookmarks Bar" folder decreases performance immediately, too."

Run the Google Software Removal Tool
All you need to do is navigate to www.google.com/chrome/srt/ and click the Download now button.When it restarts it’ll ask you to reset your browser, which can be really helpful in preventing crashes and other problems.
Disable Plugins
By default, when you install Google Chrome, many unnecessary plugins
are installed and enabled. Plugins help Chrome process special types of
content, such as Flash, Java, Silverlight, or Windows Media files, but
most of them aren’t even important to your daily browsing. Plugins can
slow down the performance of Chrome, but you can disable plugins you are
not using. To do this, type “about:plugins” (without the quotes) in the
address bar of Chrome and press Enter.
A list of installed plugins displays on the current tab. Scroll through the list and click the Disable link for each plugin you feel you don’t need.
NOTE: Plugins cannot be deleted or uninstalled, only disabled. An exception would be a plugin that was installed as part of an extension and you uninstall the extension. Then, the plugin is automatically removed.
Disabled plugins turn gray in the list, and the Disable link for each disabled plugin becomes an Enable link, allowing you to enable the plugin again, if desired.
Disable Extensions
Extensions are small programs available in the Chrome Web Store that add extra features and functionality to Chrome. They can be very useful, but if you end up with a lot of extensions installed, the browser’s speed may be negatively affected. You can easily disable extensions without uninstalling them to gain some speed.Some extensions install a button on Chrome’s address bar, and those can be quickly removed (Uninstalled) by right-clicking on them and choosing Uninstall from the menu.
