I've noticed that Google Chrome gives me noticeably slower speeds than Firefox, et al.
From high ping. (+100 ms)
To slower download speeds. (8+/- Mbit/s of the advertised 30 Mbit/s)
To slower upload speeds. (2-3+/- Mbit/s of the advertised 5 Mbit/s)

I used to really like Chrome, but after noticing the speed discrepancies I've ceased using it.
I'm not sure if it's due to Google Chrome's FreeBSD implementation vs Windows, but I get similar speeds using Google Chrome, and Chromium, on other Unix-like systems as well.
(Not a Windows user, so I've not tested Chrome/Chromium on Windows.)
