It’s happening under both Chrome and Safari for me – Macbook Pro (late 2013 model), 8GB RAM, running High Siera.
I’ve reported it to Apple and to Google. I would suggest that others do likewise. With sufficient reports, Apple should be able to find the common factors and discover the cause, if they aren’t aware of it already. For me, it’s a major performance problem on the Mac. Interestingly, a colleague with a more recent MacBook Pro was unable to reproduce the issue.

Hi Jonathan, Its happening in safari also and sometimes the desk top! Mac mini 16 gig ram El capitan. It just happens more in pro tools though.

We've got it down to the Video card in the mac mini and any other "slower" video card macs use. I'm believing for a mac pro or Imac pro to circumnavigate this very annoying issue. I find it rears its ugly "busy" head most when I set a bunch of hotspots in Pro Tools then close that window then the SWOD starts and I go through all your steps Tim to calm it down. Not a very nice thing when doing a mix session with a client sitting next to me! :( Talk soon Chuck "God does not play dice with the universe" "Albert Einstein’ On Jun 12, 2018, at 10:08 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi, Hmmm. I don't experience that sort of thing. I do have 16 GB of RAM with a 3.1 GHz processor though, so I would reaffirm that if you're only running with 4 GB of RAM with a MacBook Air, you're going to experience this more often. Later...

It says busy, and/or freezes until I move to another application, and not until the computer seems to “hiccup” and say “VoiceOver on” can I attempt doing something with the browser again, which usually pulls the same thing over and over until I give up.

Sometimes, I just cmd-tab out of Safari, then do something for a few seconds, then cmd-tab back into Safari and things are better. Other times, I toggle VO off, wait a few seconds then turn it back on. Other times, I press tab to start bringing focus into the web area and it just continues to buffer but I can still get places in the web area. Overall, it kind of depends on the amount of memory and processing power that your Mac has along with how good the web-site coding is. Later...
