Chrome printing has performance problems with Ubuntu 11.10
I installed Ubuntu 11.10 a few days ago and have noticed the response times for many packages, especially Chrome printing, are degraded from what I had with 11.04. When printing from Chrome, it is the print preview that takes so long to display and then sending the document to printer also takes a very long time for the document to start printing.
Other packages such as Software Center and Dash also load much slower than with 11.04.
I have 11.10 installed alongside Windows on an old Compaq Presario. Memory is 621.5 MiB, Processor is an AMD Turion 64 and I have 22.7 Gb of disk free. Windows resides in a 56 Gb partition which I would like eventually remove and make this a totally Ubuntu machine as long as 11.10 isn't making me nervous. :)
Is 11.10 for some reason just too much for this old hardware? Is there any performance tuning within 11.10 that anyone would suggest?
