From the original issue:
It is a general problem with how Safari (old & new) is allocating the memory at sim start.
@jonathanolson please add clarifying/investigation comments/
Since this issue does not appear to be visibly affecting sim performance, marking medium priority, but would be good to understand more.
First noticed in https://github.com/phetsims/plinko-probability/issues/96, where you can find relevant details in the context of plinks-probability.
The Safari heap size is 2x-3x larger than Chrome. And it was determined that this is not sim-specific, it affects all sims.
Assigning to @ariel-phet to assign and prioritize. Since this affects all sims, and Safari 10 is relatively new, highly recommended to investigate soon.
