This Question describes Firefox responding much slower than IE for debugging ASP.NET apps with visual studio:
Debugging asp.net with firefox and visual studio.net - very slow compared to IE
I am having the exact same problem with Chrome. Pages load very fast in IE, but there is about a 5 second lag loading every page in Chrome.
The suggestions in the question I linked don't work on Chrome, and I can't find any articles on the web tackling this problem for Chrome.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue on Chrome? Thank you.
