Right off the top - you haven't got enough free space on the HD for
things to run smoothly. Expect excessive SPOD time while your system
futzes around with temp, cache, and paging files.
After a restart, It takes Safari 3 sometimes 4 mins after I start it
and the screen pops up for a web page to load.
Updated to safari Version 4.0.5 (4531.22.7) and it started loading right away.
Safari started acting up again.. I trashed the prefs and reset the
homepage.. Still sitting there without loading.
Set Safari to open empty windows and tabs. Then relaunch it. How
much faster is it?
How many items are in your bookmarks bar and bookmarks menu? If
either of those lists are long, it will slow Safari way down. You
can have a bazillion bookmarks, organized into folders. Just so long
as those two entries aren't excessively long.
Have you turned off the check for fraudulent sites?
What version Flash are you using? Is your default home page flash heavy?
I tried firefox, it seems to have a big problem keeping its links in
order. I drag a bookmark and next time i visit it it has changed its
web address.. really weird stuff.
Yes. Firefox cramps badly if it doesn't have enough temp space to
play with the bookmarks.
