This is likely memory leaks in Safari or plugins or extensions (Flash, I'm looking at YOU!); quitting and restarting Safari is a sure way of fixing it. Look at your plugins, consider something like 'Click to Flash' to reduce the use of Flash. I have Click to Flash installed on mine, Safari is running ALL the time, and I rarely see the SPOD. Current stats are: ID Proc. Name %cpu User thread Real mem kind Vmem CPU time 449 Safari 1.5 johnson 17 678.0 MB Intel (64 bit) 742.1 MB 35:56.74 35 minutes of CPU time is a LOT of run time. (opening a new tab, then a new window with 7 tabs in it only added 4 seconds) I don't recall having quit and restarted Safari in a long time; my current up time is 8 days. Alternatively it could be the web page itself, poorly written, flash-heavy web sites can spod out on you all by themselves, but the 'as the day goes on' bit really sounds like a memory leak. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
