Google Chrome Lag Solved

Found out the problem with the lag for Google Chrome.

Its described in Microsoft KB Article 929868.

To work around with this issue, you can change the Windows Scaling factor to 2. The following steps explains it.
  1. Click Start and type CMD.
  2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open the command Prompt with Administrative rights.
  3. Type the following and press ENTER
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted

This will set the autotuninglevel to "Allow the receive window to grow beyond its default value, but do so very conservatively".

Reboot.
---
To restore, just type the following:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Reboot.
--
You can also disable autotuning with the following command:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel= disable

Reboot.
--

Note: This should solve other high-ping related network issue too :)
