Typically I browse on a Dual 1GHz machine or a Netbook running a 1.7Ghz Atom processor and reserve games for my XBox 360 or heavy duty processing (database and programming) to a dedicated machine. So in these slower CPU environments you can really tell a difference when a browser is working well vs. a higher end machine brute forcing its way through inefficient coding.
That said, there is one time I find Chrome lacking and switch over to IE which is e-Commerce. I've noticed on several sites when I attempt to purchase something and SSL is involved that I get session timeouts, errors, or the domain mismatch warning messages. Even if I click "Proceed Anyway" I have issues. I switch over to IE and have no problems. So, I'd say its probably 5% IE (online purchases and some rare cases where Chrome doesn't render a site properly but IE does) and 95% Chrome in terms of my browsing usage.
As an aside some websites to try when comparing Chrome to IE:
Realtor.com
FoxSports Fantasty Football site (which is horrid, see my random blog entry)
