Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. I use multiple Macs between home and work and have not found this issue to be consistent between them.
On my rMBP, Safari 6 doesn't exhibit the issue. I don't use my GMA 950 Mac Mini enough with Lion + Safari 6 to see it, but my Mid 2011 iMac at work does.
Essentially Safari 6 will work fine for a while, browse to sites, load everything as normal, perform asynchronous calls without issue, etc. Then spontaneously, I'll click a link or go to load a new page and all network traffic stalls in the browser. The blue progress-bar-background in the 'omnibar' will make it about the width of the domain name of the URL and just stick there forever. No further network communication will work in the browser until it is relaunched -- then it's fine for a while until it stalls again.
I noticed this issue when I installed Safari 6 in Lion on the iMac (it was fine with 5.1) and have since updated that system to Mountain Lion and the problem persists. I'm trying it with 10.8.1 right now but didn't see anything in the changelog about Safari specifically.
No other browsers stall and system-wide networking continues to work while Safari is broken.
Anyone notice this? It's gotten to me enough that I think I'll be filing a bug report on it if it persists in 10.8.1...
