Echoing what you're saying, on my Nexus S, Chrome is unbearably slow.
I would bet that the majority of Android smartphones -- the ones that aren't the marquee, top-of-the-line products -- all have a similar quality of experience with Chrome.
In a few years when Moore's Law catches up to the lower end of Android phones, that won't be an issue, but right now I think we're still in a transition period.
- chaz 14y agoI'm pretty happy with Chrome on my Nexus 4. Only on this phone do I feel like performance is close to where it needs to be. Nexus One, S, and Galaxy have all been a little sluggish for their contemporary OS. iOS has always been tweaked for its devices to deliver responsive performance, even if it wasn't fast.

(One could argue that the S should not have been upgraded at all, but realistically Google had to do it to appear credible on upgrade issues).
