Those are the possible bottlenecks, any of which could be the cause. 1. Fully update your machine's software. 2. Run the 3 standard maintenance scripts (daily, weekly, monthly) using OnyX. 3. Clear and rebuild your system's caches. Do this from OnyX or by booting into Safe Mode (shift key held down), then rebooting normally. 4. Clear your browser's caches. If the above doesn't fix the problem, then try connecting to the 'net wired (not wi-fi). If that doesn't fix the problem, then we'll have to start looking at things beyond your LAN - the cable company, etc, to see if there's a lag there. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
