Oh, I didn't know you are having these issues with Snow Leopard. For me, I am having these issues with Lion. And I am only having these issues after installing Lion. When I was using Snow Leopard, I almost never get Safari busy messages. If you are having so many issues with Snow Leopard, I would not recommend going to Lion.
