     Performance Speedup

     Waldo Jaquith
     Recently, I've become frustrated with how very, very slow that 
Safari has become on my G4 PowerMac (Mirrored Door, 1GHz, 512MB RAM), 
particularly when filling out forms. After much Googling, the solution 
that I discovered is as follows.

     Within Safari's preferences, choose "AutoFill," and then hit "Edit" 
next to "Other forms." This is where Safari stores every field in a 
form that has ever been filled out in Safari, other than logins and 
passwords. I hit "Remove All," and Safari was instantly accelerated. 
(Alternately, I could gone through and selectively pruned sites, like 
with cookie management.)

     Anybody looking to speed things up in Safari would be well served 
by emptying out Safari's forms cache.
