With which Safari version? Prior to 4.0.5 even a pretty much squeaky clean install of OS X and Safari would start stalling the UI when top sites where working once the history grew to a certain size. There are also enough people complaining about this across the Interwebs (not to mention Apple's ongoing effort to fix it) to make it doubtful that these are single occurrences.
4.0.4 on 10.6.2, though it seemed to work fine before that. I haven't had time to update to 4.0.5 yet so I can't talk about it. My history's pretty long.
This has to be a somewhat isolated problem as most people don't seem to be experiencing it. I just checked my wife's machine, and it's fine there as well.
You have a problem. We have a mix of G4's and Intels here and other than the obvious cpu differences, Safari is just as quick. By comparison, Firefox is not.
I ll try clearing the cache or something then, I think history is bogging it down but I could be way wrong...
nkhm: My first post here, but... Was browsing to see comparisions betw S 4.0.5 and FF 3.6.3 (to see about switching to S). In your reply, you implied there is an equivalent to FF's MorningCoffee. May I ask, what is it? I have several add-ins in FF installed, am looking to (perhaps) switch. Thank you for your reply. I could list my FF add-ins, but being a nb, don't want to do so (yet).

I can't stand Firefox.
Amen brother.
It's dog slow compared to Safari even with only a couple of extensions loaded.
