Slow load times and flickering in Safari

I've been going through the react.dev docs and noticed that they feel sluggish:

I still see a little bit of flickering on Chrome, but I wouldn't consider it problematic there:

The new site has a lot of interactive elements so it's not fair to compare it with the legacy site, but legacy is an order of magnitude faster:

I think there are two separate issues:

• Some (larger) pages take several seconds to load
• Scrolling in Safari makes the screen flicker

This is on Safari Version 17.2.1 (19617.1.17.11.12) on Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71). 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro 16. Let me know if you need any other information to help debug.
