I too have had nothing but hassles with Safari.  I was so excited to 
use something not Microsoft and not bloated Netscape for my first foray 
into Macintosh.  However, Safari does this same thing to me endlessly, 
taking minutes to load (if at all) where IE:Mac will load in seconds.

I have checked for corrupted pref files, and repaired permissions till 
the cows came home (how they found MY home I'll never know!) to no 
avail.

If anyone has insight into this issue I'd be very glad, because all 
I've ever heard is great things about
Safari that have yet to prove themselves on my machine (G3 dual USB).
