Safari networking process high CPU (over 200) Hi there. Since a few days I experience high CPU load on the process "safari networking" when I open twitch.tv and watch streams. First it works and after 5 to 8 minutes the process "safari networking" goes to over 200 CPU load and then freezes. After stopping the safari and restarting the browser it works newly for 5 minutes than freezes again. No problems with firefox. I cleared cookies, history and ~/Library/Safari. Tried also CleanMyMac X. None of those solutions worked. No extensions installed. Safari Version 14.0.3 (16610.4.3.1.7) Mac OS BigSur 11.2.3 (20D91) Connectet via LAN cable. Thanx in advance for you help.

Extreme slow network after reboot or wake-up of MacOS 12.x Dear iMac community, I wonder if others experienced the same behaviour on MacOS - for me it started with MacOS 11 Big Sur and continues/worsens with MacOS 12 Monterey (iMac 2019, Intel 6-Core i5, 3.7 GHz) . I notice repeatedly that, after a reboot or after waking up from sleep, MacOS network can take up to 30 (thirty) minutes (MINUTES, not seconds!) before internet access stabilises and web pages start loading in Safari/Chrome/Brave/Edge, mails start coming in, etc. The system has a wired ethernet connection. Network status in System Preferences looks good, Ethernet has highest service order of all networks on Mac. On other devices in the network, network speed is normal during that period. Processes like "Safari Networking" or "update_dyld_sim_shared_cache" are at the top in the Activity Monitor during this period of slow network performance. After this frustrating period, network performance becomes normal - but that it takes so long is hard to understand and accept. Any hints on what is happening during that period and can anyone recommend what to do to find the root cause of the issue?

nsurlsessiond burning through battery since Catalina "upgrade" Like many other people, ever since I "upgraded" to Catalina 24 hours ago, NSurlsessiond is using up an enormous amount of CPU power and is burning through my battery. A quick web search indicates this is a very common problem. Why is Apple not responding? What can people do to fix this? (Early 2015 13 inch Retina Macbook Pro, 3.1 GHz; 16 GB 1867 MHz.)

Hey VinDieselMonsterTruck,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're seeing some high CPU usage, and want to help. If you haven't already, quit the process to see if that helps. Here's how: Quit an app or process in Activity Monitor on Mac

If not, or if the issue returns, let us know more details:

Does this happen when using a particular app or visiting a particular website?
Does the process immediately start using more CPU than normal, or after some use?

The more details you can provide the better.

Take care.
