Alright so as I type this, safari's taking up 50% of both my 2.5GHz G5 CPUs.



Also, when I type in this box here, it takes a second for the text to show up.





are there any tricks I can use to make safari not as slow?





Oh, one more thing, sometimes safari puts weird artifacts into solid color gifs. Firefox displays them fine.

    hmm... a second ago i was showing 8% usage in safari. i think the reason is all those animated gif's off to the left on this response screen. but who cares? we have some processing power to spare

    i don't and i do care. If we want to run a photoshop rendering in the background it will suffer from safari's poor performance.

    Mine is at 2% on a dual G4 making this post.



    Edited: Spiked to 10.4 % when I pushed the submit button. Then back to almost zero. In loading ipodlounge.com, it shot up to 48% for about 2 seconds.

    Yeah this is an option but i sync my address books with iSync, I want to use Safari. I really like firefox, rss and the find facility are brilliant but I just want safari to run a little faster on my computer. Firefox isn't exactly a spped demon, it's flash that's the problem.
