Web browser slows to a crawl when vehicle is in motion

I found a website that has a stopwatch on it. Upon starting the clock it ticks up nicely and the 1/100ths of a second update about as you'd expect. However, as soon as the vehicle moves the clock only refreshes about once every 5 seconds. In stop and go driving, as soon as the vehicle is at rest it returns to fast updating so it is based on vehicle speed and not Park vs Drive.

Very odd. I wonder if it is designed to be unusable when the vehicle is in motion.

Surprised it works at all!

I have an S and a 3 and haven’t wasted five minutes fiddling with the worthless web browsers. Hopefully the time not being spent on getting them to work is being used by Tesla engineers on more important priorities.

I'm guessing that V9 and the always-on maps so overload the system that the browser can't keep up. It's similar to how reportedly the audio stutter goes away when the doodle Easter egg is displayed (hence, no maps).

Had to reboot my system to get the web browser to work. Even with full strength wifi (500 Mbps) it's slow.
