Adam has been reporting that on his win 10 machine, Chrome is very laggy but Firefox is fine. He eventually figured it out:
Found the problem! Well... I know the cause is, but not why it's the cause. Anyways, I updated drivers for both GPUs in this laptop and downgraded back to Chrome stable:
Google Chrome54.0.2840.87 (Official Build) m (64-bit)Revisionc5ec6c5a12f2ed748bb08c1a8567b3c0df89dccd-refs/branch-heads/2840@{#805}OSWindows JavaScriptV8 5.4.500.40Flash23.0.0.207User AgentMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.87 Safari/537.36
But none of that made a difference. Still lagged and jumped. I found that it did it the most when orbiting one of the large (1200+) entities. Anyways, so I started just disabling one by one all the extra processes running in chrome (extensions and such that run in the background). Finally, after disabling AdBlock (v3.4.0 installed) it stopped being all jumpy. To be certain, I went back and disabled different extensions in various combinations of disable order, as well as disabling everything extra and then only enabling AdBlock. Sure enough, it was the only one that caused the issue, and it did every time.
No idea what that actually means or how AdBlock could cause any issues. But you are of course welcome to do any analysis and debugging on this machine on Saturday.
