I was having a problem with the spinning beach ball and slow page loads in Safari, and after searching a bunch of forums, found two things that seemed to help:
- Delete all your autofill entries from time to time. do this by going to Safari preferences, Autofill button, and then click the "Edit..." button for the "Other forms" box. In the next window that appears, just click Remove All.
- Turn off all the languages you don't need. In the Finder, select the Safari application and do a Get Info (Command-I), click "Languages," and uncheck all the languages you don't need.
[robg adds: We've now run quite a few Safari speed hints ... to summarize, it appears you can maximize Safari's speed by also disabling JavaScript and (as seen here yesterday) removing cached FavIcons. In addition, you can also speed up your bookmarks menu.]
