I am not gonna sit here and tell you why this does that, or that does this. What I will tell ya is that one of the reasons is linked to Google Chrome itself, The other is within Internet Explorer.

I know what works, So let do this
We’ll start with Chrome,
Pop open the Settings menu (click the icon in the top right that looks like three horizontal bars, and select ‘settings’ in the drop down menu. Once you’re there, click on “Show Advanced Settings” towards the bottom of the page. At that point, you’ll be presented with a long list of options.

One of those options is titled
“predict network actions to improve page load performance.”
This is a feature known as DNS Prefetching. While it certainly does improve the load time of pages, it’s also known to cause a bit of intermittent input lag every now and then, in addition to sending Chrome’s memory footprint straight through the roof.
