Under the privacy un-check all the options except Enable phishing and malware protection as shown in the screenshot:
Delete all the temporary data, history, cookies etc. to make your Chrome work smoothly. to do this press Ctrl+Shift+Del and choose what things you want to remove. Removing everything is recommended except the Auto-fill data and passwords. If you don't save passwords you can also select these options and erase them as well.
Removing Un-necessary Extensions
One of the reasons behind slowness of your Chrome is unwanted extensions. Extensions eat a lot of your CPU, you can remove all the extensions that you don't use.
To do this click the Wrench icon in the top-right corner of screen, and select Extensions, and remove all unwanted extensions.
Disabling Plug-ins
Plug-ins can also cause slow page loading, don't install any plugins that you don't use often. Some plugins are automatically installed by other programs that can slow-down your Chrome. To know what plugins are installed type chrome://plugins in the address-bar and hit enter.
Now disable all the unneeded plugins, i recommend you disable all the plugins except Adobe Flash Player and Internet Download Manager (if you have one).
