Ever since I updated my early 2013 15mbpr chrome KILLS battery life.

Have spent a few days making sure the culprit was chrome and not other software. Even on a basic website battery just drops twice the normal rate or maybe even faster.

Anyone else having this issue? I really love chrome.. Can't get use to Safari
 
Im using version 26 and running cMBP 13.

I havent noticed battery drain but over all Chrome is very clunky lately. Scrolling sometimes stutters and freezes. It also takes a long time to load certain sites.

Its been so annoying I switched to webkit nightly until chrome gets fixed.
