Slow page loads in Chrome - but IE9/FF12 are fine on same PC?

Hi,

I recently built a new system (specs in sig). I've been using Chrome at work and on my personal laptop/netbook for a while now and decided to switch on my desktop as I had been using FireFox.

For some reason, loading web pages and streaming video (YouTube) will sometimes delay for 10-15s in Chrome, while the identical page will load instantly in IE9 or FF12. Usually I will see the "Waiting for www.site" message on the status bar at the bottom. One repeatable example is to load a YouTube video that has an ad at the start, and then press the button to expand the YouTube window, it will basically hang for 30-60s before adjusting the resolution/streaming starts again.

I've done a bunch of searching, but cannot figure this out, it's driving me nuts.

2 other machines with Chrome on the same network (wireless) do not have this problem. My desktop is using a Gigabit wired connection to the router.

Thanks for any suggestions!
 
If anyone comes across this, I seem to have found the solution. I disabled Asus network iControl module from the Ai Suite software module. No idea what it was doing, maybe giving Chrome a lower priority versus FireFox/IE? Anyway, everything is snappy in Chrome now, including YouTube.
