Description
In Safari (any version) on mac, Handbook is very slow. It looks like the long pages are somehow rendered dynamically and it's really bad in Safari. When scrolling, it often crashes or renders empty content that never appears anymore. Terrible user experience.
It's fine in Chrome.
Tested on MacBook Pro M2 Pro.

Research direction
Open the Handbook URL in Safari on macOS and reproduce the slowdown, crashes, and empty content while scrolling; compare the same pages in Chrome. Trace the rendering path used by the Handbook pages and measure the affected long-page behavior. Done means the Handbook pages scroll and render reliably in Safari without the reported failures.
