90% of the time the "load" bar sticks about an inch in, on any site.
Then I'll swop to another browser, come back to safari and it'll load fine.
Then it won't !
i've just downloaded Shiira, and that also won't do anything (after loading
three sites!) Could this be connected. IE5 is working.

First step in Safari troubleshooting is usually to clear the cache (Command-Option-E or Safari > Empty Cache) then quit and restart the application.
If this problem arose after the 10.3.6 Update and you are running any Safari "hacks" or "add-ons" you might want to check for updates to these: hacks, haxies, third-party Menu Extras (the icons on the right side of the Apple menu bar) often have problems after Mac OS X Updates.
I use OmniWeb. Much better than Safari.

Are you using broadband or DHCP? there's been talk of a problem with OSX loosing track of DNS with certain DHCP setups. So sometimes it can't resolve IP addresses.
If that is your problem, the solution is to enter your ISPs DNS servers manually in the network prefs.

this just starting happening to me.
Safari would ALMOST load the complete page, but not all the way.
I'm forced to stop it from loading, and hopefully it'll load up the cache well enough to where it's legible.
Firefox works fine though.
any clues?

Firefox is still slower on the Mac side. OmniWeb means you have to pay.
For Safari, as mentioned above, empty your cache. I'd even deactivate it. That helps.
Cleaning out favicons will also help some, or locking the file so they don't stick (meaning they purge everytime you quit Safari).
Also, if you have autofill on, go through and edit the names/entries to a minimum. Or turn autofill others off. That will increase Safari's responsiveness tenfold.

I'm voting with the intermittent DCHP issue. I've tried the "fixes"
I experience the non-loading about 5% of time. Almost always upon "Reload" the page shows properly. Sometimes attempt MacNN or Amazon etc will *immediately* say "server can't be found" or "no data can be loaded from the server". 10 nanoseconds later... it can.

For me ...
if I stop PithHelmet ... it works ......
turning it on causes some of the webpages I view to not load up all the way
[this just started happening in the past two days]
