Over the last week or two, safari has been playing up. I'm getting lots of beachballs, for several seconds at a time. This isn't a page load problem, it happens when scrolling, or switching tabs etc.

Don't know why it's suddenly started, can't tie it to a specific software update, but I've repaired permissions and restarted the machine (Tibook 1Ghz, 1Gb ram, OSX 10.3.4 with latest updates).

Any suggestions, or is anyone else seeing this.

Cheers,

J.

Have you tried deleting Safari's preferences/caches?

Hey, resetting caches and turning the automatic formulars off helped for me!

Thankx
