Safari 4: Web page previews take 4.5Gb

wouldnt this just get deleted with time? Because if you set your history to be for 30 days.

You can have your history set to unlimited. So I'd assume that that file could reach astronomical sizes in a year.

AFAIK, page preview is sort of an independent program on top of safari itself, it apparently has its own CPU process whenever it shows up. Im not sure the history is really related to this. It should be easy to test tho.

Well, I wasn't impressed with Safari 4, at all. So will be sticking with S3 as long as I can.

I hope so, but I don't care too much. I just got a machine with a 500GB drive and have come to love history in coverflow. This is definitely a lot more useful that it seems.

is there a way to get preview pics for all the websites i have visited and not only for those in the past couple of days?

I'll reset Safari and see how much disk space is freed
