Google Chrome is horribly slow. What to do?

In the wildest way, fantastic brakes occur when switching between tabs, when opening new pages, when moving the mouse over links - everything slows down.
But it happens okay.
UPD: sometimes music from VK creaks when playing. It's like the whole computer is slowing down.
UPD 2: The problem was in the system, not in the browser. The solution is in the comments to the solution.

Here are the possible reasons for the brakes.
1. Flash player. It uses a common process shared by all tabs - and therefore, when it slows down, all tabs at once slow down. Install AdBlock to reduce the number of flash videos (if it's not already installed).
2. Video card. Check if it's overheating. If the video subsystem slows down, then everything will slow down - and this is inevitable.
3. Processor. Doesn't it overheat?
4. North bridge. It can also overheat.
5. What about memory? Is there enough RAM? If the OS is Windows XP, then disable the paging file: on older computers, it slows down terribly, especially with large amounts of RAM. If the OS is Windows 7 or 8, then, on the contrary, make sure that the paging file is enabled. If the OS is different, try both options.
6. What's with the disk? Make sure that there is enough free space on the disk (at least 5% of the total, preferably 10-20%). If the drive is SSD - check if TRIM is supported. If not, then an empty partition is needed at the end of the disk (in the sense that the disk must know that it is empty, without the TRIM command this can only be achieved by full formatting). If the drive is not an SSD, then try defragmenting it.
7. What about the antivirus? I know that I will be scolded for this advice for a long time, but a good antivirus program eats up 75-90% of the processor time for its own needs. So try to sit in the internet without an antivirus. If it helps, then don't forget to consider alternative protective measures (on XP - create a limited account, on 7 - enable UAC if it was turned off, prepare a separate partition with a clean system and run a virus scanner from it once a week). If there was no antivirus, take it out and go through the scanner at least once.
8. Well, of course, you need to check which processes are hanging up the computer. Even if at the time of installation all of them were needed, everything could have changed a long time ago. (Example: my uTorrent computer has recently started to freeze due to ads on flash)
9. Check chrome extensions for extra ones. Or not superfluous, but simply heavy.

Of course, these items must be checked in the order in which it is faster, and not in the order in which they are written.

UPD:
Point 10 (which helped). I bring it up here from the discussion.
Try disabling dynamic CPU frequency change - or power saving altogether. In windows it is implemented crookedly.

- Look in the OS which process is loading the system.
- See in chrome what extensions/tabs are loading the system
- Clear history/cache
- Reset chrome by deleting the profile folder
- See how it works without extensions

Maybe you should switch to Firefox? He's quicker.

Add operatives. After I expanded the memory to 6 gigabytes, the problems with Google Chrome ended.

First, uninstall all extensions.
