G4 PB 17" 1.33Ghz single 1GB stick 5400rpm 80GB
I have one Safari window open (three tabs), Photoshop and Entourage. Fan is continuously running 
I have previously done all the Favicon removal, as well as turning off Autofill etc etc. There is nothing in the Input Manager folder .........
Arghhhhhh I dislike Safari so much ... yes I have tried all the other browsers and actually find Safari the best of the bunch but come on Apple make a real browser !!!! 
Anyway, I captured the "Sample of Safari" using Activity Monitor if that can help anyone help me??? I tried to include it in this post but it is too long .... arghhhhhhhhhh
PLEASE

Ouch! Did it always do this? Or only after recent updates? Does it make a difference what page is displayed? I would a page with .gif or Flash animations could do this to some extent. I've seen that on my Windoze PCs.

It probably has to do with the pages being viewed. Flash and GIF animations take inordinate amounts of CPU. Lots of JavaScript can do it, too.

eBay
Tourspecgolf
1001freefonts
Also, sometimes when I go to
golfwrx.com
Safari crashes, closing and asking me if I want to Submit a Report. I have submitted over 100 reports to Apple: each time it crashes.
Anything I can do??
BTW, I'm running Panther 10.3.9

did you test the issue in another User?
IE: create another account and see if you get the same problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't done that as I'm not sure how ... but I did go to the same sites with better results with an old (1.0.4) version of Firefox. Safari uses 90+% of the CPU and Firefox uses about 20%.
And I reset Safari at the end of each day.
Majorly frustrating!!!

go to System Preferences/Accounts and create a new account
see how Safari works there... if it's not bad.... then it has something to do with your Safari Preferences

Same problems here too. On Tiger. It even continues with no window open.
Safari sucks for me. It lags after 15 minutes of being open, and it crashes often. I now use Camino!

Next time Safari uses so much time, sample it (Utilities->Activity Monitor->View->Sample process).

/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor (if you're using Safari, control-click and open in new window this link)

The only way to post the complete sample here on MacNN is to break it up.
Will that do?

Just wait until you see how much memory its capable of eating.
But yeah, Safari can take ridiculous amounts of cpu power up. Something I found that really can help a lot with some sites tho, is to install Pithelmet and use it to disable all adds. Many are highly annimated (munches much cpu power), and some sites are covered with them everywhere. Disabling them can make an amazing difference. Plus I cant stand adds anyway. So thats 2 good reasons for doing it.

The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

Going into the Safari Preferences and turning off JavaScript is the only solution that actually works at this point: CPU usage goes down to 10% and the fan turns off. Although not my desired solution, I guess like Apple says "It works"
