Please show me the complete output from this command, in Terminal: dig acme.com >There will be plenty of RAM free (also per MenuMeters).

Do you have any other InputManagers -- LCC Scroll Enhancer, especially? If so, pull those too. >The last lock-up reports: > 71.242 pageins, with 0 pageouts Not a paging problem then, at least in your particular case. I was semi-suspecting this for the OP, since his machines are very memory poor. FWIW, I'm using both Safari 3.2.1 and WebKit on my 300-MHz Smurf (OS X 10.4.11). I've seen such lags, but nothing as severe as you'all describe. SafariBlock, in particular, is problematic. Wonderful InputManager, but... The latest looses settings. And the latest automatic block list contains some entries that seem to bog things waaaaay down. I've found that using an older release, on Manual, works much better. Takes a bit of work to train it, but it's worth it. Next there's Flash. sigh. Apple snuck a new release into the recent Security Update... This new version, 9.0.151.0, seems stable, but is definately slower than the prior release 9.0.124.0 (at least on my Smurf). Pulling Flash temporarily will tell you if that's part of your situation. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
