Cave Man

Just updated to Safari 8.0.6 yesterday and am now facing spinning balls every 5 to 10 seconds. I've killed Flash so I don't think that's it. When it occurs, Safari moves to >100% cpu in Activity Monitor. I've quit, rebooted but those do not fix it. Mac Pro 2010 with 12-cores and 128 GB of RAM. Doesn't seem to do this with my 2014 MBA. Any ideas?
 
Sehe gerade, dass du aus Deutschland bist. Versuch mal im Festplattendienstprogramm die Zugriffsrechte zu reparieren.
 
Unfortunately, that did not work. Still getting the spinning ball every few seconds. I have uninstalled Flash but am still getting the spinning ball.
 
I appreciate your efforts. It is clearly something within the Safari.app because when the beach ball occurs Safari jumps to >100% use.

Empty the Safari cache?

Disable Safari extensions?

Try running Safari from a different user account?
