Some web pages need a lot of processing power to keep animations going on, plus in the background they may have large Javascript scripts running to keep the page updated with view statistics or breaking news, to follow your every move, etc. Most of that is unnecessary when the page is not at the forefront.


Safari detects that useless activity and helpfully shuts it down to extend your computer's battery life (or to just save energy in general). It also keeps it cooler.
