When a website is confident about predicting what link you might click next, the site can tell Google Chrome to preload, or "prerender", the links, so that the page loads instantly when you click it. For example, when you’re browsing a blog, you might click “next post” when you’ve finished reading. The blog can tell Google Chrome to preload the “next post”, so the page shows instantly when you click it.

- "host_referral_list": [ 2 ],
- "startup_list": [ 1 ]
+ "enabled": false

Fixed for Google Chrome 12 in SVN r2541. Workaround is to update XML or not clear cache.
