After deleting the database.sqlite file, and reseting the Mobile Me information, the freezes and crashes stopped. Hope this helps others, too.

One possible fix for Safari freezes and slowdowns
Jun 23, '09 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
I am syncing, on several Macs and several user accounts, information such as Calender, Mail Rules, Bookmarks, etc. After recently updating to Safari 4.01 and OS X 10.5.7, all of a sudden I had all very bad Safari performance -- including constant freeze situations. After being ready to delete the impacted user, I realized that there were some issues with the database.sqlite3 file in the Library » PubSub » Database folder. The PubSub folder is used for tracking RSS feeds, and it seems my problem resided there.

One possible fix for Safari freezes and slowdowns
Thanks for the tip... hopefully this helps!

Does anybody know what this Database.sqlite is used for? I don't use RSS from Safari, neither from Mail, and nevertheless I had 36'000 Authors in there...
This really helped.
I was starting to wonder why everybody was saying safari 4 was so fast. Like a curtain was lifted.

wow, it does make a difference to speed. I deleted both database and feeds. Not sure if both helped or not.

Makes me start to wonder if SQLite is the culprit on the Mac. Two other issues with bad SQLite performance on macosxhints.com: Speed up iPhoto '09 by vacuuming its databases and Speed up Firefox by cleaning up places.sqlite. Did anyone run into the same issues on Windows for example?
One possible fix for Safari freezes and slowdowns
I couldn't fail to notice that my first launch of 4.0.1 took a long time. I don't know how long; maybe hours. I have long history and RSS settings are... wow, one year (that's down from forever). Figuring that's what was being processed, I wasn't concerned. After that it has been just fine. I wonder if what you people experienced was a problem with the building of that database. ---

Wow, Thanks for this. I have been blaming ATT dsl for this for a while.

I found this specific tip (removing rss articles through the preferences panel) very useful. Even with Safari. 4.03 on Snow Leopard, the speed up is noticeable.
One possible fix for Safari freezes and slowdowns
Thank you!!! It already seems faster (only bounces once before launching), and it hasn't crashed yet (would often crash just on launching). Interestingly, it seems that most of my top sites have the blue star next to them (but not all...), as if they got reset. Seems related but a small price to pay.

What do you mean "reset mobileme". Can you give more instructions?
Same Database.sqlite3 problem with 10.6.7
I had the exact same issue with 10.6.7: ---
