Is it suppose to be slow?

It isn't so much the time it takes to render the page but it hangs for a moment before it starts to render and and sometimes it does that for each part of the page that is hosted separately. This has been a common issue with Mac's for years and years from what I know.

Does the progress bar stall for around 5 seconds on every unchached page before it starts moving again and finally loads the page? Going to pages that redirect you around like hotmail can take forever to load because of the delays. I have that problem, and as far as I know its the modem doing something weird with OS X. In order to solve it I just reset the modem with OS X (through the browser using the modem control panel, but hitting the reset button probably works too), after that it loads pages as expected. Every once in awhile it will start lagging again and I'll have to reset it.

Btw., perform this test: go to demonoid.com with Safari and with FF. Then, click on "Torrents", and in the dropdown menu Category select "Applications" and in Subcategory select "Macintosh". Safari hangs for a few seconds before it brings the page up. FF does it immediately. This is common behavior for Safari compared to FF.

Yeah, Safari sucks.

Done and done. No noticeable difference whatsoever.

I don't get it?
