Chrome Much Slower than other Browsers

RMS Oceanic

Thread title is pretty descriptive: My chrome browser (fully updated, Windows 7) has decided to be painfully slow at random times in loading pages and videos. Specifically it'll go through to the page I click on pretty quickly, but then the components on that page take minutes to load and appear. Googling suggests emptying the cache, so I tried that, and when I restarted Chrome it worked for 45 minutes before it started being slow again. Restarting my entire computer is also a temporary fix. I've tried disabling my extensions, but the Internet Explorer still installed on my computer outpaces it reliably. Does anyone know what else I can try?

Firefox?

Did you update chrome just before this started happening?

Have you looked to see if your primary HD is full? This sounds like a thing where you're out of space on the disk.
