Whenever I try to open Chrome for the first time after booting, it takes about 8-10 seconds longer than it does for Windows. Is this the case for everyone? Is there a way to fix it?
I know it is not that much of an important problem but it bothers to wait that long while the process is instant on Windows 7.

To install it, either open the
