IN this case it's the section that begins at: div id=text-553827321 class=widget_widget_text And is loading stuff from: http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.js So if you block widgets.twimg.com either with SafariBlock or in hosts, that should stop the Twitcrap. That said, I have a crapload of stuff running right now and my load is: frankenmac:~ johnson$ w 10:46 up 1:08, 2 users, load averages: 0.19 0.15 0.08 With that page loaded. (running Safari 4.0.1 with all flash on that page blocked) So it may be something else bogging stuff down. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Bruce! You rock! Thanks Geeze. I'd been staring at that code and just didn't see that line, I guess. Blocking widgets.twimg.com in SafariBlock works great - the whole block is now gone from those pages. That said, I have a crapload of stuff running right now and my load is: frankenmac:~ johnson$ w 10:46 up 1:08, 2 users, load averages: 0.19 0.15 0.08 With that page loaded. (running Safari 4.0.1 with all flash on that page blocked) So it may be something else bogging stuff down. With that site blocked, I now have a dozen tabs loaded in Safari and its gone mostly idle. M'mac is very responsive now! /me does a happy snoopy dance (with pilgrim hat, of course). 13:04 up 3 days, 15:19, 3 users, load averages: 2.41 2.12 2.02 heh. But that's because I have a couple of long-running jobs crunching away in the background, niced at +10. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Loading isn't a problem. The problem is what happens *after* the initial load. A page with a very active twitter feed updates quite quickly - chewing away on cpu and memory by continuously polling the twitter servers. Nothing to do with the links within the twits. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
