Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.59 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. visit any site with a fixed background image
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Scrolling should be quick and smooth

What went wrong?
Scrolling is very slow and lags

Some example sites (the last two are CSS examples for fixed background)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.59  Channel: beta
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

I'm using a HiDPI screen which may exacerbate the issue.

Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 and MAC 10.12.1 for chrome stable version 55.0.2883.87, Dev version 57.0.2946.0. Scrolling appears to slow and not smooth when compared to that it appears in Firefox. Issue is a non regression as observed from M24-24.0.1300.0.

Tried URL: https://www.meetup.com/London-Museums-Galleries-Social-Meetups/events/235735962/

Moving Milestone from M55 to M57 and Untriaged it so that it gets addressed.

P.S: Issue is not specific to HiDPI as it was observed on non HiDPI machines as well.

Thanks.!

Background-attachment: fixed causes all scrolling to occur on the main thread since we have to repaint the background in the new position on each scroll. This will inherently be slower than our normal composited scrolling path and will be affected by other work on the main thread like JS.

It does seem like Firefox is better here though. Assigning to flackr@ to triage and see if there's maybe something we can do better.

I can no longer reproduce this issue as of Chromium 66.
Did something change?
