Webpages have been loading really slow and being jumpy

[Krayzkat]

Since installing Mac OS X Lion on the day of release, i've noticed that webpages don't load up as fast and that scrolling down webpages is quite jumpy.

Webpages i normally use and have noticed problems with are:

http://www.facebook.com/
https://www.macrumors.com/
http://uk.gizmodo.com/
http://littleroom.whitestripes.net/

other websites i use a lot like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ seem to be fine.

I deleted my cache this morning and it never made any difference.

Please help me as i don't know much about what types of codes/languages different types of websites are made of. Hopefully i just need to DL a plug-in or something

Yeah, there is probably a memory leak somewhere in safari. Quit and restart safari. If that doesn't help, restart your computer.

Hopefully 10.7.1 will fix this. Lion is just buggy and boring to look at as well.

I've restarted computer many times and hasn't changed anything.

This is a late 2011 iMac with 8Gb RAM and all i use it for is music and internet really so it should have plenty of memory!

I know what you're talking about. and have also wondered if there is a problem with some pages loading rather slowly.

There are definitely some bugs in Lion. Hopefully 10.7.1 fixes these things. I especially hope that (at a minimum) we get the wifi fixed - and the Safari memory leakage issue. Apple is certainly pumping out updates to SL quickly (so that people can upgrade to Lion appropriately). So, hopefully a Lion fix will be coming out this week or next. I surely can't imagine them waiting until 10.7.2 to fix some of these bigger issues.
