I am using Safari 1.3 on a G4 iBook with 512MB RAM running under OSX 10.3.9

Over the last couple of days it has suddenly slowed down; HORRIBLY. Now
even MSIE loads a page faster than it does.

I amaware that the 10.3.9 upgrade was causing problems when I did it.
The upgrade using the trick mentioned here and was done about 3 weeks
ago. No problems were noticed then they have only started in the last
4or 5 days.

I suspect I have to dump preferences or something similar but I'm not
sure where to start.
Any advice?

I had the same problem the instant I updated to 10.3.9 from 10.3.8. Nothing
in Software Update seemed to fix the problem either. Formatted and went to
10.4.1 and all is well. Might be as simple as trashing prefs, but I think
it was Java related, used to keep getting the beachball, drove me nuts.
