Yes, I have the same problem with the American Express website. Very slow, laggy and sometimes unresponsive.

I have tried to load the very same website in Safari and altough it is still very laggy in comparison to Chromium-based browsers, it seems that Orion has much more struggle to load it than Safari.

Not able to reproduce either of these two issues. Both sites scroll fast and as expected.

First thing you should try is enable compatibility mode to see if any extensions are causing this.

I have the same problem, but with every site, including orionfeedback.org. To reproduce it it's simple as opening the browser and navigate normally throught internet.
I've a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3, and the browser is always resource hungry, and usually it gets stuck with the Spinning Wheel (as in the following video).
I've tried also disabling all the extensions, but it doesn't help.
I've the 0.99.123.1-beta (WebKit 615.1.16.1)
