Boy that sure doesn't match my experience. We're on a dial up connection and have Safari on two Mac's. Older July 2001 350 iMac and a Dual 867 MDD. Both with 10.2.3. I have IE, Mozilla, and OmniWeb in addition to Safari. OmniWeb was my browser of choice before Safari. Doing very non scientific tests (human with a stop watch) with the G4, on web sites I have found take a long time to load. Safari is significantly faster. Doing a "cold load" (i.e clearing the cache first), and accessing the site through Google. The times for one of my favorites, with a lot of animation, java script and links, to load completely run: IE: 2 min 4 secs. Mozilla: 1 min 41 secs OmniWeb: 1 min 23 secs Safari: 47 secs. All over a dial up. Just my experience, but it's been similar for most sites. Your mileage may vary. It's now my default browser.
