Agree. I like to see Linux improvement more than Mac since Chrome GPU raster sucks compared to the other platforms.

Is there a Chrome development project that is planning to address the tablet battery life?

50% faster this, 200% faster that... Wake me up if any of this is noticeable in real-world use of the browser. Because it hardly ever is due to external bottlenecks (network latency, cache reading, etc. etc.)

Think about it like this: Overall improvements concentrate slowdown in the bottlenecks, so it makes each hour you spend optimizing your site more productive, which in turn makes it more likely that people will actually do it.

It's all incremental improvement in different areas that sum up to a better overall experience. Sites are like 5 megs now.
