Maybe it's just me, but after the latest update 11.6, Safari has become slower, and more sluggish.

i.e Macrumors forum eats up 17.49GB of memory?! Do I have a memory leak, or should I bail on Safari?

That does seem excessive. Looks like I'm not on 11.6 right now. Will update and follow up.

I'll keep an eye on my memory usage, but this is what I'm seeing right now (with ads).

How long did you have macrumors open in Safari before you checked the memory usage?
