# Looping through Users
for item in Users:
    try:
        chrome_options = Options()
        chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
        prefs = {"download.default_directory": os.getcwd()}

This should help (C#)

chromeoptions.AddArguments("--headless", "--window-size=1920,1200");

Disable the proxy and try, it should increase performance

chrome_options.add_argument('--no-proxy-server')

I found that it helped me.

In addition to iamsankalp89 answer:

chrome_options.add_argument('--no-proxy-server')

these additional options helped me to drastically increase the performance:

chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server='direct://'");
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
