To reproduce:
- open chrome,
- open a new window (ctrl-n),
- move that window to a different workspace,
- use chrome normally (i.e. open and close new tabs, type into omnibar).
Google Chrome will behave extremely slowly.
This is only after upgrade to Ubuntu 16.10. However Chrome Version 55.0.2883.75 (64-bit).
Happy to dig deeper and post logs, etc., but don't really know where to start.
EDIT: Just upgraded Chromium to Version 55.0.2883.87, now Chromium also has the same problem.

I recently had a similar issue after updating and upgrading. The problem for me was related to CPU clocking speed. You might give this a try.
/etc/default/grub
and addingintel_pstate=disable
parameter to theGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
line. It should look like this:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash intel_pstate=disable"
. Then save the file and runsudo update-grub
.sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils
./etc/init.d/cpufrequtils
file and set the following line to the governor you need (performance in my case):GOVERNOR=”performance”
