I have Safari 1.0.3 and whenever I come across collections of animated gifs, only a few of them animate... most are frozen.... This doesn't happen when I use Mozilla Firefox or IE...
As an example, on this page in Safari, only a few of the Hamsters dance...

(This is not a major problem, or even a problem, but I'm curious if it's Safari or my computer?)

No it is Safari. v1.2.4 here and it animates them all, but not all at once. What it does is updates the first one to the next frame, then the next to its next frame, and so on, so it runs at like 1 fps.
It displays fine in other browsers and all animate at the same time at the speed they should. Definitely a Safari issue.
PS. Also royally screwed up in OmniWeb, where only a couple animate and the rest are stuck. Probably what you are seeing in Safari 1.0.3.

Open it in any other browser than Safari or OmniWeb and you will see a huge difference in the speed of the animations. IE, Mozilla, etc will animate it at pretty much full speed, while Safari will animate it really really slow.

We have made a number of improvements to images in Safari 2. We have faster image decoders available on Tiger, and image decoding now takes place on a separate thread on machines with multiple CPUs. WIth these changes Safari now uses less CPU than other Mac browsers with animated GIFs.
Note that the "animated GIF" MacNN forum problem that has been commonly reported here had nothing to do with animated GIFs at all, but was actually an issue with Flash. This issue has been fixed on both Panther and Tiger and will be available in future versions of Safari for those platforms.
