All kinds of computing devices such as tablets, PCs, or laptops feature a brain-like unit called the central processing unit or CPU. Your computer’s CPU calculates and interprets instructions while you’re surfing the web, creating documents, playing games, or running software programs.
What is the CPU speed?
CPU clock speed, or clock rate, is measured in Hertz — generally in gigahertz, or GHz. A CPU’s clock speed rate is a measure of how many clock cycles a CPU can perform per second. For example, a CPU with a clock rate of 1.8 GHz can perform 1,800,000,000 clock cycles per second. This seems simple on its face.

Safari become very lag when I open a new tab or pages, and when I checked Activity Monitor, the one that made my mac lag is Safari Web Content, it can eats 80-90% of CPU.However, it only happened if I open new tab/pages.

Via Activity Monitor I now see “Safari” and “Safari Web Content”. Not sure exactly what drives the Safari Web Content process, however, large number of tabs open, and/or large number of extensions or plugins will require more RAM and CPU usage. In any event, the activity level and RAM requirements in this process seems excessively high.
