I know it is anecdotal experience, not a proper test, but personally I tried Chrome for several months as a main browser when FF had been in 3x versions, and Chrome always felt less responsive. It had some weird micropauses in initial page rendering, and since I'm mainly opening/closing new different pages from multiple sites (as opposed to have several pages open constantly from few sites) it had been less pleasant to use compared to FF. And I'm not even mentioning addons and privacy, just from performance standpoint. PS: at that time I was working for almost full time on Asus Eee PC, with 1Gb memory and early model of Atom CPU, so that was the reason to try Chrome widely marketed as "faster" (as I said above, it wasn't in practice, at least for me).
