I'm on a 2012 MacBook Air 13" and the parallax is extremely spazzy and glitchy
Are you able to check your cpu utilization with the page open? I've got a 2012 Macbook Air 13" with a clean install and no other programs and I'm finding my cpu utilization floats between 55-100% usage with the beta site open. When I loaded up my processor a little more it caused the site to stutter and lag.
