Safari Tip

Why are some sites so slow when using Safari'  Mac's default Browser? Many have found that Safari slows down every time a page is opened. This tip from Mac OS X Hints may help with this problem. If you go to ~/Library/Safari you'll see a folder called Icons which caches all of the site favicons. After extensive use, the icon cache can get very large. Simply delete the contents of the Icons folder and the Safari slowdown will be gone. To prevent it from happening again in the future, make the Icons folder read only. You'll no longer see any Favicons in the bookmark window or menu, but it's a small price to pay for the speed up.
