How to stop Looker from crashing constantly

[rlee]

Looker crashes in my browser constantly whether I am building a new dashboard, editing one, applying filters, or pretty much just using Looker as it’s intended. I have taken steps to optimize our instance that has helped a bit but I still face the same problem:

1. All tables being fed into Looker are assembled in BigQuery as static tables every hour so that the looker model is just doing a basic “Select * from” 
2. I am not doing any joins in LookML. All tables are joined in the step above so the view in LookML just selects the columns and the model just references the view without joins. 
3. Data is limited to 2 years
4. I have cacheing in our models as well as using PDTs in sync with the table assembly 

Even with these steps taken Looker will crash when I build the most rudimentary dashboards. I am running Chrome on a new macbook pro.
