I'am new to Ubuntu and I'am trying the 14.04 LTS version.

When I am seeing any video on Chrome, my computer suddenly gets real slow, so I opened Chrome's task manager...

Task manager 1

Task manager 2

Why is this happening?

EDIT: I am using the HTML5 player

EDIT 2: lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' output:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 181b

  1. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf

  2. Add the following line:

    options drm_kms_helper poll=N

  3. Restart and problems are gone (at least for me with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).
