Slow tab closing

Question

When I try to close tabs when other tabs are still loading there is a noticeable delay between when I hit Ctrl+w/ click x and when the tab closes.

From what I can tell it seems that closing a tab requires cpu and when usage is high, it has to wait for space to open up.

Has anyone else noticed this issue or have any solutions?

cjc2112&nbsp;Interesting... do you see the same delay when you click the "X" for the tab and/or window?

Deleted&nbsp;Not when tabs are finished loading. If I have many tabs open, especially(or usually) YouTube, it takes a while to close the window, but that's a separate issue.&nbsp;I also found one solution that Firefox uses. When you click x on a tab to close it, it immediately closes it on the screen even though the tab process is still using ram and memory, and ends the process a few seconds later. The result is being able to close dozens of tabs nearly instantly because they don't have to wait for the process to end.&nbsp;Ideally the best solution is for the process to almost instantaneously be terminated, but if that can't be achieved, then this seems a good replacement.
