on several of our machines safari has inexplicably started slowing down to molasses pace.
Loading of pages is painful. Spinning wheel etc.
No other apps seem to be affected.
Firefox works fine.
I tried getting rid of all prefs. Clearing caches, fixing permissions etc. nothing seems to work... ideas?

What happens when you disable all options (plug-ins, java, and javascript)?

Yup, Java seems to be the culprit, just watch eBay or TVGuide.com. Ughhh, this is getting out of hand....
Last week Azureus just stop working (Java App). This seems to have happened ever since I installed 10.3.7. I reinstalled Java 1.4.2 Update 2 again, this let me run Azureus again, and the slowdowns in Safari are not that bad.
Also, at the same time I upgraded my PowerMac G5 1.8DP, from 2GB to 4GB of RAM. Strangley, this helped enormously. I can only think there is some major Memory issues with Java (and Safari). Hope Apple fixess this shite with 10.3.8. It's fscking annoying.....

If you have autofill on, edit down the list. This will kill your loading time. Other ways to speed it up is disabling the cache and the favicon cache. Safari Speed is a good way to decrease the page delay time as well without using Terminal.

Even disabling everything and cleaning the caches, I'm having problems... for now the solution is just firefox.

I don't really have a slowdown issue but if I leave Safari in the background, sometimes I find everything else going slow and I check the activity monitor to find Safari using 50%+ of my CPU and 600MB virtual memory. This only happens sometimes and usually if I leave it overnight. It's odd because it's not actually doing anything so why would it need the CPU? It wasn't even hung up.
I don't like Firefox for a number of reasons but Safari most certainly needs a good number of bugfixes to be a permanent replacement.
