Chrome runs all HTML5 Monkey apps slow

Hi. Has anyone else noticed that Chrome has suddenly started running all HTML5 Monkey apps really slowly? I'm using OS X and Safari on the same computer runs the same apps as they were previously.

What's your build version?

Chrome auto updates so... eventually in the future the stable will run HTML5 apps amazingly well. I was on dev for a while, now on stable ( 18.0.1025.142 m for me) and it does seem sometimes slower. For a while stability may go up and down. HTMl5 is a long term target.

You can download portable versions of Chrome to test. Site like: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

And request them to do new builds when they are released:

Chrome is faster than anything here for me.

@Leon: Yes I had this problem and tried to profile it, but can't find the reason.

I'm test on Mac, Snow Leopard (now on Lion I don't know if the problem is still here)

I found some SetColor slowness by profiling in Chrome, but even removing that, my program is sometimes deadly slow on chrome.

The Chrome Profiler just says it's spending the time in "Program" making it impossible to pinpoint a specific method or Function as the cause.

Firefox and Safari never has problems with the same code.

I am unable to reproduce it with a simple example.

I'm on 18.0.1025.163 - I'll just stick to using Safari, which runs fine. It's a bit odd for Chrome considering that they give the main selling point as supposedly being the fastest browser.
