Starting to hate Google Chrome

So when I first got Google Chrome it ran kind of slow. I looked up the reason why, and it had to do with contacting the servers or something (I'm not much of a computer nerd, though used to be), so I went into the preferences and fixed it. After doing that, it ran significantly faster than Firefox.
Now Chrome is starting to annoy the shit out of me. Sometimes when I try to view a photo, or load some kind of script, I will sit there for a minute or two... waiting...and waiting....and waiting.... And finally I grow impatient, so I click to another page to refresh the browser and see if it's possibly frozen; and RIGHT when It begins loading the other page, the script that was taking forever to load suddenly pops up, but it's too late because I'm already going to a different page 
This happens with photos sometimes. It sometimes happens when I'm waiting for a comment box to appear so I can type, and sometimes it happens if I'm waiting for some kind of flash code to do it's thing.
So I'm thinking there must be a reason for this, because it seems to be happening more and more. When I open internet explorer, and try the exact same thing, it works just fine, but I hate IE.
Any idea why it would be doing this? Is it possibly a similar problem to what I originally had? Should I try updating Java? Or maybe updating my Adobe Flash?

Saving your bookmarks and reinstalling Chrome is a safe option.
I haven't found any faults with Chrome, it's run smooth since day 1 of installation.

I actually migrated from Firefox to Google Chrome because someone told me that with Google Chrome you don't get the commercials on youtube.
...They fucking lied

It's not running slow...
It sometimes will sit there acting like it's loading a script for however long I am willing to patiently sit. Then when I become impatient and click to view another page, the script magically appears at the last split second as I'm leaving that page.
It's hard to explain. I wish I had fraps on this computer so I could record it.
Basically the script is actually already loaded, but it wont show that it is loaded until I am leaving the page.

Got it. You know, it could be just that certain browsers are weird under certain configurations. Stick to an alternate browser.
Chrome is faster than a motherfucker on my machine, but I stick with firefox because it's better and saving passwords and usernames and such and automatically filling them in

i have had some funky shit happen with chrome, but it was all due to addons. cooliris and xmarks would cause the browser to eventually crash after about a day no matter what i did until they were disabled. now it works like a charm except for randomly deciding to load youtube vids at dialup speed even though i'm not using any other bandwidth.

I think I'm going to move back to Firefox.
It never gave me problems, I just wanted to try to get rid of those goddamn commercials on youtube.
