[G4] 10.3.6 safari so slow - Try Camino

[Mel Krewall]

I'm not having the problem with slow eBay searches in Safari (or 
slowness in general), but recently I have been using Camino 
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/> a lot. They have fixed most 
of the previous annoyances and it is quite fast for me. It's not as 
fully featured as Safari, so I still use Safari some, but I really like 
Camino now. You might give it a try.
