WebKit-based apps are sluggish in latest Utopic

[Kai Mast]

For me Google Chrome sometimes freezes the system for a few seconds 
when loading a page. 
This seems very similar to your problem and started to occur when I 
updated to utopic. However, your issues seem to be more extreme. Mine 
only occur once in a while.
