I've had absolutely the same experience. I've had to share my wife's laptop when I had water damage on mine and she generally keeps all mail and calendar in chrome instead of using the native apps for some, to me, inexplicable reason and so my user would then do that frequently. Compilations would be lightning fast, but otherwise it feels exactly like you describe it.
