Why Google street view scrolls not very smoothly in Chrome?

[Evan Martin]

One thing to try is to go to Chrome's settings, search for "hardware", and
uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available".
That uses a different code path (X CopyRects instead of OpenGL calls) that
might be faster.  As for *why* it's different, blame any of bugs in the
port, bugs in the drivers, X's design, or anything else of your choosing.
