Hi, I've checked the archives, but can't see that this problem has occurred for other people. A friend who has an Intel iMac 2.6ghz, 4gig RAM with OS X.5.7 on fast broadband finds that over time, say half a day, Safari slows down significantly. She finds that switching to her G4 iBook, she can get normal download speeds in Safari, whilst on the iMac its crawling.

At the beginning of the session, Safari downloads web pages normally.

Does anyone know what might cause this slowdown in performance?

cheers, Susan.


Perhaps a silly question , but , how much spare space has she on the hard drive ?

And when it is slowing down she might try emptying the cache
