Google Chrome is a quick, quick browser, but if you have it set to automatically detect your proxy settings, it can be IE6-slow to launch.  Here’s how you fix it:

1. Click the wrench menu.
2. Select Options.
3. Click the Under the Hood tab.
4. In the ‘Network’ section, click the Change proxy settings button. This will open the ‘Internet Properties’ dialog box.
5. Click the LAN settings button.
6. Deselect the ‘Automatically detect settings’ checkbox.
