Hi, so i recently bought the macbook pro retina 15 inch (mid 2015) after have used the macbook pro from early 2011 for many years until it finally died recently.

The new laptop is fast and looks very good but my scrolling in google and safari seemingly at random goes from 60 fps to around 20-30 for just a fraction of a second up to a couple of seconds, which makes it stutter and i have no idea why, it does not seem to have any real pattern, sometimes it happens on youtube sometimes on reddit and so on

so far i have tried
uninstalled chrome several times,
tried in safe mod and it just lagged more
i have not seen anything unusual in the activity monitor, (sometimes small spikes but i assume its from my actions of searching)
updated the software,


the odd thing is that neither of my parents or brother seems to notice so i dont know if im going insane (im autistic so im very sensitive to change)
