It downloads fine on a mac mini core 2 duo over a fast (work) connection, but causes Safari to suck down 1/8-1/4 of one processor's clock cycles, because of all the endless ADD-inducing flashing pictures and 'headlines'. > However, although I'm using BellSouth DSL, I don't have the > fastest > speed.

I could believe that in true television fashion, it might be trying to send more stuff before the initial load has been blinked and scrolled and transitioned. Another one which can cause problems is sportsline.com (CBS' sports page). For quite a while, it would crash Safari every time I closed the scoreboard (though I cannot remember it happening recently).
