On a side note the only problem i had with chrome is that you cannot disable disk cache. The problem was easily solved with junctions to /Device/Null for the Cache and MediaCache folder.
Where 'CACHE_DIR' is the new cache location, and 'N' is the cache size limit, in bytes.
Use whichever switch you need, or both. Keep in mind, however, that these features may not be completely stable yet. But you probably shouldn't have any problem with using them.
And to anyone who's interested, I caught gander of the existence of these switches directly from a source code file for Chrome. See here:
Thanks! I'm trying it now. The caching directives work. Hopefully this will fix the performance issues I've been seeing with Chrome the past two months.
The issues I'm talking about are constant disk access and freezing the entire machine when I open multiple tabs simultaneously.

Well, you guys are in luck (BTW, great work-around, Xenofon), since Chrome now has two startup switches that you can use:
--disk-cache-dir and --disk-cache-size
Simply close Chrome, right-click your Chrome shortcut, click Properties, and then in the field labeled "Target:", make it look something like this:
"...chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="CACHE_DIR" --disk-cache-size=N
Where 'CACHE_DIR' is the new cache location, and 'N' is the cache size limit, in bytes.

Hope this helps!
