Lagging while GPU folding is common with no current good solution. It is likely to get worse whenever using an application that also uses the GPU. Chrome will off-load some work it does to render pages to the GPU. My assumption is that specific web page uses that Chrome feature significantly. It is possible to turn off that feature, if necessary. as an alternative, you can just pause folding before and unpause when done.
There are some things that do significantly help lag. The first is make sure that Aero is turned on. You can try different Nvidia driver versions for some are much worse than others but finding the right version can take a significant amount of time and effort. Personally I find 260.99 seems to work well for me, but I have a relatively generic older card. Folding on two video cards as opposed to one seems to help a lot but buying a second card is a rather expensive solution.
