1. Visit https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvements-in-net-9/ which is a rather long page. 2. Safari will try to load it twice then display "A problem repeatedly occurred on". This is on iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18.1 Note if I restart the phone, then this doesn't happen any more, but will repro again if phone is used for a while.

I was able to reproduce on my phone as well. This is a highwater jetsam which can occur when the WebContent process crosses a soft limit and the system needs memory due to memory pressure. This is why the crash doesn't reproduce every time; the system won't kill the process if it doesn't need the memory. From an initial look it seems like it might be due to a high amount of graphics memory being allocated, usually to back compositing layers in the page. I'll try to get allocation logs to see what is prompting a large peak memory footprint. Thank you for the report.
