Title:
  Chromium freezes

Status in Chromium Browser:
  New
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 I noticed that chromium interactions
  (scroll for example) and mouse pointer itself started to freeze for
  hundreds of milliseconds (0.1s - 0.2s).

  So, I was constantly scrolling (in order to reproduce the bug) while
  running perf top, and it pointed to this function:

  sudo perf top -t 1892 -d 5 --call-graph fp
