This sounds either like a memory leak in Safari (some developer made a big mistake in Safari's program code) or maybe you have a memory problem in your G5. I'm using Safari 4.1.3 on a G3 B&W and it doesn't slow down. But I'm not surfing a lot the whole day, so maybe I haven't reached this point yet. > Emptying the cache makes no difference.
