Comment #1 on issue 6352 by goo...@synetech.cjb.net: Excessive HOSTS Access http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6352
After some testing, I’ve figured out that my main speed problem (100% CPU usage) in Chrome is due to the HOSTS file being repeatedly throttled (completely read) for pretty much every single DNS query. Disabling it allows Chrome to be nice and snappy like it was when it first came out (yes, I did have the HOSTS file on in Sep.08). Of course this is not a solution. I do not want porn ads and malware, not to mention I need the virtual hosts for testing. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
