Working as I do on a decently fast machine I have to say performance differences between the two don't concern me much. Both are fine in practice. On privacy & many other grounds I'd far rather use Firefox even if there were a minor performance penalty. Unfortunately I find it just too unreliable. It always ends up simply hanging on most sites, which is fixed by (yet again) blowing away my user profile & setting everything up. Sync makes that less troublesome than it might be, but it's too annoying as a regular interruption of my work day to continue with. Chrome it is, because it works, and Firefox doesn't, regrettably.
