Updating to this Safari version has slowed down opening the program and also opening websites. Has anyone else found this to be true? Thanks.

I haven't seen any problems. Have you tried emptying the Safari cache and/or deleting cookies?

I have not found that to be the case. Some more information about your system might help, though. In particular:

How much memory is in your computer?
Are you using Safari enhancements or plugins like PithHelmet, SAFT, or Speed Downloader?
Are you using any Safari input managers?
Who is your ISP? What domain name servers are you using?

Does the problem occur if you log into a test account?

I might look into adding more RAM. On my iMac (like yours but a 3.06 GHz processor) with just Safari 5.0.2 open and the "usual" startup items (and there can be a lot of variation here with each Mac) I am using 1.7 GB of RAM.

Could be an all-around performance boost.


On a Mac since 1984.
Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.

This is an account that you set up to be used for troubleshooting. If you log into this account (more about how to do that later) and the problem is gone, something in the original account (i.e., your home folder) is to blame. If the problem exists in both accounts, then the cause lies outside the home folder. For example, a corrupt preference file in your main account can cause problems; those problems will not occur in a test account because its preference files are at defaults.

To set up such an account, go to System Preferences > Accounts. If the padlock icon is locked, click it to unlock it (you'll be prompted to enter your administrator password). Then, click the + icon at the bottom left of the screen, just above the padlock icon. Follow the prompts and be sure to check the box to allow the user to administer the computer.

Once the account has been established, it will appear in the left column of the Accounts preference pane. To log into that account, click the Apple menu (upper left of the screen) and select Log Out. A login window will appear. Select the new account and, if necessary, enter the password that you established for that account. In a moment, a new desktop will appear at factory defaults, as well as everything else. None of your custom settings will apply and you want to keep this account at factory defaults for testing.

When finished, log out of the test account and into your regular account.

joyss,

Take a look at this tutorial: Create a Test Account.


Back up everything you can't afford to lose: documents, mail, movies, music, photos, and other data and settings.
