Steps to reproduce:
Generally browsing seems a bit choppy with the latest beta.
So I tried browserbench, speedometer 2.1 with enabled extensions and in compatibility mode without extensions. Then I run the same test with the latest Safari (16.0).
Results are below.
Test in Orion takes up to 80/90sec to end, Safari takes 30sec or less.
I also notice a good amount of battery drain using Orion.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion: Version 0.99.120-beta
Macbook Pro 14'' M1 Pro, Version: 12.6 (21G115)

    I was able to reproduce on MacBook Air (M1, 2020):

    Orion Version 0.99.120-rc with extensions

    Orion Version 0.99.120-rc in compatibility mode

    Safari 16

    Chrome 105

    Orion Version 0.99.118.1-beta

    Overall browsing has also felt slower, especially a heavy site like the reddit redesign is almost painfully slow to use on 0.99.120-rc.

      fed9 Testing with extensions will always cause slower performance.

      Anyway, I was able to reproduce slowdowns on speedometer and we will look into that.

      "Choppy"

      I've some sluggishness after recent update 0.99.120. Good luck. Thanks for your work!

      Safari scored 278, Orion 186.

      Better w latest update Version 0.99.120.1-beta, and now basically even with Safari 16 (310 Orion v Safari 301), but still off from the 340.

        Onno

        basically even with Safari 16 (310 Orion v Safari 301), but still off from the 340.

        You are saying Orion is faster than Safari now? What is getting 340?

          Yes, slightly fater than Safari 'sVersion 16.0 (17614.1.25.9.10, 17614) test result 300 to Orion 0.99.120.1's test result of 310.

          But not as fast as Orion 0.99 pre 120.0 was (test result of around 340) and yesterdays. 120.1 (now about 310).

            macOS 12.6

            Safari = 321 and 294

            Orion 119 = 317

            Orion 120 = 318

            So, within a margin of error. None the 340 that I recall as seeing. Later, I can come back, restart into safe mode, and retry and repost.
