I am running Chrome on Ubuntu 10.04, Windows XP, and Windows 7... no slowdown issues that are not accounted for.

Ditto, I use them on multiple machines and the only times I have seen such slowness is when:
- I am doing big downloads on the same machine or LAN
- tools like traceroute show me there is slowness in the path to the domain I am viewing.

Otherwise both seem speedy and seldom, if ever, crash.

OTOH, I just replaced my gaming machine and find that an internet connection problem I had with World of Warcraft has disappeared.  Particularly interesting since WOW was moved to the new machine by simply transferring the files to the new machine (meaning that the application software did not change).  The old machine was a dual boot XP and Ubuntu 9.10 (this machine in fact).  Ubuntu has always been faster downloading from the internet than XP.  Somehow, over time, XP's internet access seemed to get worse (and yes, it was cleaned, defragged, and registry cleaned).

So before you condemn the browsers, try them in different environments to check if the environment isn't the root cause.

when I load google chrome on my xp laptop pages take forever to load.... well, at least it doesn't cause scripts in gmail to stop running (like firefox did). I can't be a special case! if chrome and firefox want to compete with ie they need to work the bugs out before release.... or am I so special after all?
