Hi John, Did you ‘Empty the Cache’ as I mentioned in my previous email? Empty Cache and Reset Safari are under Safari (in Menu bar).
If Safari is still slow in Lion: Close Safari, then if you don’t have your ~Library showing: Open Terminal. Type or copy and paste chflags nohidden ~/Library/ You will then be able to see ~/Library in the Finder. Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/. Delete the Cache.db file. Restart Safari and you should be all set.
