Chromium very slow

[Gabor Toth]

I am using Chromium browser since long time. Since recently it became very slow and just to open a page takes a minute or something similar. When I open a new tab it is the same, it seems to be loading forever.

This is my default browser. Using on a Dell Laptop with 4 GB memory on Ubuntu 12.10.

Have you tried running chromium from the command line "chromium-browser --disable-gpu"?

[Gabor Toth (gabor-me)]

Hi,

Sorry to say but this has been a long-long time ago. Since I use Ubuntu
14.04 multiple times reinstalled or upgraded the system. This trouble
doesn't exist in my current system and I have no means to check out on a
configuration described in the bug.

Can't help with that.
