Minimizing the window to the Dock reduces the Safari Networking CPU usage to a low level, as does closing the window; de-minimizing the window causes it to fire up again.

This appears to be a "feature" of docs.gitlab.com; I currently have a window open to my Wireshark mirror, and it's not eating the CPU, but if I de-minimize the window I have open for setting up mirroring (which I *really* hope I got right and I *really* hope does what I infer it does), the CPU lights up.
