LOTS of people don't recognize that you can dial
it down. See also this classic rant from John
Welch:

Kibo, Bynkii, the Spaghetti Monster... these are
a few of my favorite things. I've even
subscribed to mailing lists mentioned by
L'Bynkii, just to bask in his writings. Ok, not
sure if "bask" is the right word, especially
since it sometimes involves cleaning my keyboard.
He speaks my mind awfully frequently!
Stop Crashing My Browser.
And to follow that theme... I tried a bit of an
experiment the other day, with Safari. First I
ran with its cache disabled. Interesting but not
much performance boost. Then I tried using a
small RAM Disk, 16 MB, and put the Safari cache
there. hum! Interesting. Some pages now load
much faster. And having that memory dedicated to
that virtual disk really hasn't changed the
performance of my already memory-poor machine at
all.

Espérance DV (freeware) -- a system preferences
pane that automates creating the ram disk for
you. It can even take care of moving Safari's
cache.

I'm using Tiger on a QuickSilver. Does Experance work on newer and x86?
