Default Mac Help, internet startup is SLOW

Well, i have only had my mac for a year or so. Just this week it safari has begun to startup slow. It pops right up to google, but then i get the colored "i'm thinkin wheel" for a minute or 2 at least. It comes on and off after the page has loaded. and i cant do anything.

I ran the maintenance utility, reset safari, and ran a memory organizer on it. it is still slow? any ideas/suggestions?

Once it fires up, it seems to run fine. but start up is a little rough. Like if i start it right to here, it take forever.

Switch to Firefox.........as Safari tends to struggle at times with certain sites. Firefox is generally the new default browser for alot of Mac users I know.....

Firefox has a beta version out, for mac right now...

I'd recommend going with that....

Mac + Firefox - Safari = happy Mac
