I'm about to give up on this POS. It's becoming impossible to use, owing to constant delays attributed to "waiting for cache" or "Waiting for AppCache." No amount of googling returns any useful information or fixes, so I'm about to abandon it as a failed experiment. Does anyone know of a way to return Chrome to a functional state? If not, is there a usable browser out there?

First, I'd ask if you're using the 32 bit version or the 64 bit one.
Next, I'd ask if you've got a (caution: technical content ahead) bajillion extensions installed.
Finally, I'd ask what kind of a connection and pc you've got.
I'm running the x64 one on this lappie - an 8gb dual-core i7 asus.
I'm running the x86 one on an older machine - a 4gb i3 acer.
Each machine is running Win7 (Pro and Home Prem respectively) and is wifi-tethered to a 3g mobile connection.
I never see either of the messages you mention. Performance is always snappy and I'm happy.
I'd try disabling all plugins to see if any/all of them are the source of your discontent.
I do hear pretty good things about Opera[^]. I stopped using it for reasons I forget - something to do with the API offered to plugins not suiting the aims I had at the time.

I'm using Opera and I like it. It uses Chrome's browsing engine. Using v26 because v27 has some cpu usage issues for me.

Same for me as for enhzflep - I'm using Chrome 64 Canary on my desktop, and have seen no problems like you mention.
Check your extensions - could be one's going a bit agly.

I tried to use Canary once, and I agree that it (usually) is blazing fast. And then they distributed an update that caused it to fail to start. So I went back to the beta version. On Canary channel you also once in a while get a build that is meant for deubugging/gathering so data , that runs extremly slow (you can see that it is a special build in the about. there is something after the version number to indicate that it is a special build, but it usually solves itself with the update on the next day  ) I wouldn't recommend the Canary version for daily use though.

I suspect the extensions, too, since I've been using Chrome for years with no trouble. But I haven't added anything recently, and the problem just started a few months ago. I'm sure it's related to something Adobe put on my machine in an update...

What, like the Adobe PDF reader plugin?
Or the Adobe Flash player extension?
Could be: Adobe isn't allowed near this PC for just that reason...

Try clearing the browser's cache[^].
I'm using Opera, which actually uses Chrome's browsing engine, but works better for me. Using v26 at the moment because v27 has some cpu usage issues.
Firefox isn't too bad either.

Seems to be on your side, I've been using it for yeas, and still snappy.

I am sure you know that Chrome has it's own Task Manager. You can see lots of details for all process including separate process spawned by Chrome for it's extensions. You can open it by right clicking on top bar of Chrome or by "Shift + Esc". It has "stats for nerds" which gives more details.
As others said, some extension/app might be eating memory/bandwidth causing delays, which you might be able to identify by this.
Thanks,

Handy tool, yes, but it's not revealing anything useful. I have just a couple of extensions running, and neither seems to have issues. I wonder if it would be helpful to simply uninstall Chrome and start over with a fresh installation?

Worth trying.
Over time, because of backups and other stuff, it might get slow. In other words, typical MS OS issues which piles up when they keep adding "Windows Update" and "Service Packs" which effectively slows down the OS to crawl may have infested Chrome/Google.
Thanks,
