Did anyone else notice the huge speed decrease in the dictionary when upgrading to Leopard?
It really didn't make any sence to me... using spotlight or command control D (or w/e that keyboard short cut is) went so much faster.
Well, I found out what it is... it's Wikipedia. For whatever reason, it won't display anything in "All" (the default in dictionary) until it's loaded the entire thing, including Wikipedia which it has to go online to access. So it's limited by your bandwidth.
Anyways, I found going into Prefrences in the dictionary application and unchecking Wikipedia as a source will speed it up a lot.
Unfortunately... I really liked Wikipedia being in dictionary app. (It's better than the actual website... fewer pages to navigate because it skips right to the article... and all the words are hyperlinks rather than only the ones people who've edited the page decided should be hyperlinks.)
So... anyone know of a way to change it so by default it will open with just the dictionary rather than all your sources? Or perhaps a way to make it so it will display the dictionary instantly but wait until Wikipedia has finished loading before showing it?
(Oh, and I Safari is only 3.1 right now despite what my signature says... but I doubt that'll fix Dictionary.)
