I have built a site, where there is a lot of jQuery/javascript, but i do not think there is too much compared to other sites.
Try the site here and the scrolling (only html output so you do not have to create an account): http://www.fitlab.dk/fitlab.htm
It is in Chrome it is really bad, compared to Firefox where the performance is better, stange because I also thought Chrome had the best javascript performance.
But how can know what is causing the scrolling to be slow?
I tried remove jQuery “extensions” one by one, so I could tell which what causing the problem, but I could not find the problem.
I know Chrome has this where you can test the CPU, what processes use how much power.
Here is an screenshot of the final results where i have scrolled a lot and recorded it:

That do not give a lot of information, it actually do not know what to use that information for :-/
I would be really glad if somebody would help me, thank you! 🙂
Please try removing all the CSS and see if the performance improves. I have seen scrolling lag when large background images are there, especially when the background is fixed.
Also could you try removing one jquery plugin at a time to find out if any plugin is causing the issue?
