Use Google Chrome for game play only. Bookmark the main page and the game client. The trick is to not use Chrome for everyday web browsing. Use a different browser. I use a single core computer with Chrome, and the page load times are ridiculously fast.
On a side note for the fast player. People may encounter meter stutter within the first 5 seconds of a swing. We've heard it said before to hold the meter at the top of the meter bar, there's a reason the meter is smooth after the pause.
Watch in the lower left corner after the next hole location loads, you'll notice the name of the club changes, this will cause a meter stutter 98% of time during ones swing. The next place a meter stutter occurs is on the green. Again, the fast player will occur a meter stutter 98% of the time here. Watch the upper-right corner where the meter speed banner drops down, a meter stutter will occur almost every-time for the fast player.
