What is up with Safari? Ever since the release of the Beta 2 of Sierra Safari has been super slow. Every 4-10 keystrokes I have to wait for the spinning beachball and everything to load up. Starting Safari in the morning from a fresh bootup takes close to 10 minutes and opening an additional tab or two takes an additional 5-10 minutes. Before installing beta 2 everything ran great. Additionally, when typing in Safari I'll be typing along and what is on the screen is 2-3 sentences behind what I am actually typing.

As for my hardware, I know it is more than sufficient. It is a 2014 iMac. 2.9 GHz Core I5. 8gb memory and a 1T hardrive.
 
It's strange.. sometimes it's buttery smooth, on other days I have beachballs and stuttering all over the place.

But remember it's beta. Of course they will get it fixed for launch.
