Why Google Chrome developer tool's source search is so slow now?

Question

I am not sure if I am the only one, but about couple months back, the Google Chrome Inspector's source search (Cmd + Alt + F) is extremely slow for large web application (big source file). It usually before took around 2~3 sec, now it takes at least 1~2 min! I found out though, somehow the search got speeded up quit a bit when the code is at a stop point, and I start search code. But it is not a sustainable solution, and tedious while not working all the time. My Chrome version is 54.028.

Answer 1

This has been a known problem in Chrome for a while now. Switching to Chrome Canary should fix the problem.
