why is it so bad? I would think the problems on lagging on websites and forums wouldn't be present with how powerful the ipp is. I'm always having issues where as I'm scrolling there is lag (also happens in Hulu and Netflix). And a lot of times half the website won't load and I have to close out safari and reopen to make it work again. Just really annoying for a device that is so powerful to have these issues.
Got a tip for us?

Mine too. I dont want to go Chrome as its a resource hog but getting tired of the black screen at the bottom and slow loading.
I have plenty of issues with Safari on iPad Pro, though they're all present on my iPhone too. I've found myself using Chrome much more than I used to, especially on iPad Pro since it serves up desktop versions of websites much more reliably.
What happens when you disable it? Still the same problems? My guess is that some ad blockers are very slow and disturb Safaris normal working.
If you have blog style or image heavey stryle sites it will happen. Try this site after general usage - https://penarthnews.wordpress.com
Not had any issues on mine and also to add I use Safari and Chrome side by side quite often and do not experience any issues. No ad blockers installed.
No problems here either. Safari is crazy smooth on the iPP. I don't have any ad blockers installed...
This is also present on the iPad Air 2, and i wonder if it occurs on the other 2GB devices (mini 4, 6S/6S+). It's super annoying and almost spoils the device for me because it occurs quite frequently on pages i visit regularly.
It most certainly is not attributable to ad blockers, because I've switched them off and I have also recreated the issue on mulitiple Air 2/iPad Pros in the the Apple store.
To recreate the issue:
Go to this rather simple site: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/
It should load fine in a new tab; however, if you go to an image heavy page (e.g. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1046854&page=5), load it up, and then next in that same tab go to https://www.ozbargain.com.au/ again, you'll see there is terrible rendering lag when scrolling down the page. If you open a new tab and load ozbargain, it will render fine, but it will continue to render poorly within the original tab.
You may not think it's a big deal, since you can get around it by simply opening a new tab and closing the problematic one, but I find it takes away a lot of fluidity from the browsing experience.

I've seen this complaint before, but I've never had this issue on any website I browse. However, I'm not a super-heavy user; I generally have at most two or three tabs open and I always close them when I'm done with them. I also use Purify.
it usually happens for me on image heavy sites or blogs without safari complete restarts. happens all the time actually.
regular browsing is fine (like this forums site). but i use image heavey sites. i notice it constantly. have always noticed it on whatever ipad i've used.
i dont use any ad blocker. perhaps i should try?
/EDIT
just installed Purify. perhaps it'll block background scripts or other crap? or any settings/tips that i can use with it?
i'll report back
