Safari Beachballs, on MBP 13"

[prodigee]

Ok so recently Safari has been randomly beach balling whenever I open a new tab, and sometimes just loading a page with a bunch of images. This has only been happening in the past 5 days. Has anyone had an issue like this? It is quite frustrating. I have checked activity monitor when it is doing this and Safari is marked as not responding and taking up 75% of the processor, which for about 2 minutes locks up the entire computer.

Flash pics? Or some kind of plugin not playing nice with safari is my guess

Whatever it was after deleting all the plists associated with Safari and installing 10.6.2 the issue went away, I don't know which action fixed it, but one of them definitely did.

My late 2007 iMac beachballs with everything, I'm going to get a MBP at the end of the year that should be faster.

I'm using my MBP every day and I never see beach balling.
Repair permissions, get enough RAM and keep at least 20% on your hard disk free.

Your 2007 iMac shouldn't be beach balling more than mine, unless you have little RAM and a full HD.

Try CLickToFlash. ANd if you're going for a MBP wait till Feb refresh if you can!

How much RAM have you got? And what speed HD (or is it a SSD). And is your HD filled up?
