So I picked up a OCZ 256GB Vertex 4, and since I reinstalled Windows and everything on it Chrome has always been slow. Closing tabs sometimes takes several second. Sounds like a small problem, but when you're used to them closing right away it gets annoying. I have TRIM enabled too. Anyone else notice this problem with their SSD?

Is the whole SSD slow? or just chrome? If the SSD is slow try installing BIOS drivers / firmware and your SSD drivers / firmware updates.
Maybe this video will help.
How to Optimize Google Chrome - YouTube

It's just Chrome. I noticed big improvements in other areas (Photoshop ready in 3 seconds, amazing) but Chrome seems slower. I followed the instructions in the video so I'll see how it goes. But my previous settings are identical to my laptop's which is a lower end system then my Desktop and I don't have any problems there.
