[G4] 10.3.6 safari so slow, ditto for Firefox

[Steve Goldstein]

I had the same issue, and also with 10.3.7--no improvement.  So, I switched for a while to Firefox, and it was much, much more responsive, ***AT  FIRST,*** but then Firefox, too slowed to a crawl.  Emptying the cache did not seem to help.  I wonder if keeping many tabs open slows them. 

Anyway, this may be more than just a Safari problem.

Activity monitor show that safari has stalled. Once the beach ball stops spinning, the page loads quickly. I am using a 1.2 Ghz G4 with 1.5 G ram and a DSL connection.  Quite frustrating...
