TFA did explain it. The boxen were authenticating against a LDAP server in prod, and prod was dead. This was obviously a huge design flaw and the author identified it as such.

Chrome massacres my 2012 MBA, the fan spins up within 30 seconds of launch. Firefox runs smooth as butter, mucho tabs and no fan. It seems people have widely different experiences, very weird. I wonder if it's a graphics card thing.
