Shadowknight I can confirm that disabling the background image does indeed fix the problem. I have further found that the solid colour background images do not cause this problem and only the dynamic ones do. I'm unsure as to whether this is related to the resolution of the images, or the fact that they are dynamic.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Go to the Start Page
      2. Have Background Image enabled, doesn't matter which image is chosen (no image has the same effect too); this causes the most lag, and is on by default with no background image selected
      3. Have lots of Favorites, it'll make this lag worsen; I have 38 of them for reference

      Expected behavior:
      To not make all my windows in macOS stutter around while this page is open, and Orion to not slow to a crawl (it's noticeable even on 60Hz displays)

      Orion, OS version; hardware type:
      Orion 0.99.111-beta (WebKit 613.1.12)
      macOS Version 12.1 (Build 21C52)
      MacBookAir10,1

            Here's what happens on my machine, presumably this is the same issue

              Same exact issue here, same model of Mac too.

                I actually have a similar issue but with the opening and closing animations for the side tabs as well as resizing the PiP viewer for YouTube.

                Merged 7 posts from Start Page can make macOS (and Orion) lag badly.

                  @Vlad We could possibly be seeing a resurfacing of this issue on Orion v0.99.117
                  Background Image(primarily) and/or too many bookmarks/frequently visited are causing a slowdown in opening and closing of new tabs (only when already on a new tab)

                    Shadowknight Please create a new issue with steps to reproduce. I do not use a background image so have noticed this issue.
