Google Chrome Not Prefetching Pages

It turns out that contrary to a previous post, Google Chrome doesn't actually prefetch webpages. Instead, it simply resolves the IP address to the domain name in advance. Should the page then be requested, the path to that page is already known so the page appears to load faster - even seconds faster, according to Google Chromium Developer Jim Roskind who explained the distinction in his comment to the original post. The good news - no need to disable DNS prefetching in Google Chrome. And faster surfing.
