Mac Forum / General / Networking / July 2005Why is IE faster with my Tiger?
I have a new iMac G5, running 10.4.2. Safari 2.0 from time to time runs very slowly, and pages won't open "because the server is not responding." I get similar results with FireFox, but not with IE. I checked with Apple Tech Support, and they had me clear Safari's cache and reset, to no avail. A G3 desktop connected to the same switch (they're both connected to a router, thence to a cable modem) runs IE faster than Safari on the G5, when I check them within seconds of each other. Any suggestions? Ed > I have a new iMac G5, running 10.4.2. Safari 2.0 from time to time runs very > slowly, and pages won't open "because the server is not responding."

IE also gains some performance by rendering pages incorrectly. Safari might be getting caught on page components, like advertisements, that don't load. Try using OmniWeb. You can view a list of exactly what's inside a web page, see what's stuck loading, and block annoying ad servers. |
