my Safari Networking process is consuming somewhere on the order of 50-60 Gigabytes, and it's starting to slow down my machine.
I am not using the reading list, but with currently 14 tabs opened, Safari Networking uses 16 MB uncompressed memory or 47 MB ‘real memory’.
This problem is exclusive to Sierra for me, as are most other problems I've been experiencing.
I don't own multiple machines.Do you have problems on multiple machines? Have you reformatted the drive and reinstalled the OS?
(The Safari Networking process manages "top sites" iirc. It may also be used with the reading list.)
And no I haven't reformatted. I've mentioned it in other posts, but I 'd hoped that when I switched to OSX from Windows way back when, that my days of formatting to fix poor performance in operating systems was over. With all the problems Sierra has brought it seems like that dream is now over (although while the sharp decline in quality really started with Yosemite, it still didn't require a complete reformat, just a downgrade) I don't have the time to go through all that at the moment, so for now I'll continue to complain about the Sierra problems I have on MacRumours.
