So, having just played a session, in which I, as the GM, had two character sheets open for NPCs, plus the old encounter runner. macOS 15.7.4, Safari 18.6:
At some point my machine started lagging (not bad network -- the machine was slow enough to notice) in zoom. I don't know if it was the new die roller, but that's something that has never happened before. (It also wasn't swapping.) I turned off my camera to bring the processing load down,, which worked.
Communication of rolls is very erratic. Some don't get to the log, some get to the log but not the person rolling them. I had one player who didn't see their initiative roll, but it was in the initiative order. Two others rolled, had it go to the log (IIRC), but not the order.
Rolls with advantage/disadvantage weren't reliable, at least in the encounter runner. (I don't remember whether I had a problem rolling it from character sheets)
Not showing the roll, just the result, makes it hard to tell whether advantage/disadvantage has been applied.
I eventually turned off graphical rolling on the character sheets, and things worked a lot better for me. I couldn't turn it off in the encounter runner.
I never even wanted to see other people's dice bouncing around to begin with, and the synchronization issues it's creating are a real problem, not to mention the issues with the new graphical roller not always completing rolls.
The new dice roller is fine for me with one exception. My only problem is the dice are taking up to much of the screen, I often find myself waiting for the dice to disappear to see what my actual result was and to see whatever the dice was blocking (the dice usually cover something). It would be nice if we had a way to adjust the size or have the ability to stop the dice from showing up on screen but still getting the math.
The new dice roller has completely bugged my use on iPad chrome browser. Pages just keep reloading or failing completely. Needs fixing or I end my subscription
From what I've been able to deduce, a recent change of cookie package lead to a lot of this memory strain. I think it's part of the age verification stuff based on the setup. The new dice & backlog update didn't help, but aren't the primary issue here.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.

While Playing with my Group I noticed two things.
1) One Player Couldn't use the Dice Roller on his Sheet or on Maps VTT
2) When testing on the site and the Character Sheets the Dice rolls do not work but roll on visibly on MAPS
3) Maps was Lagging when Rolling/Dice Results
