Here is a very slow page in Safari 5.1

Safari before 5.1 has had no problem loading this page:
http://panlex.org/u
But in 5.1 requesting this page makes WebProcess start consuming 100%+ of CPU and it takes 105 seconds under Snow Leopard on a 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon Mac Pro and 65 seconds under Lion on a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro, before the page is ready to do anything (scroll or press a button) with.
To check whether there might be a font or character causing this problem, I have replicated the situation with various subsets of the table being displayed. Displaying 1000 rows speeds the loading, but it still takes about 15 seconds on the Snow Leopard machine, regardless of which 1000 rows are displayed. (These times are over a LAN, so no Internet latency.) Similar problem on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook.
The loading time is not appreciably decreased if the page is loaded again in succession.

Thanks for helping diagnose this.
However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

  • Very slow applets on Safari 5 and 1.6.20 - works fine in Firefox

    Hello,
    Has anyone else noticed very slow applets in safari 5? I'm running 1.6.0_20 and trying run any of the applets at http://openprocessing.org results in VERY slow applet performance.
    If i load the same applets in Firefox things run smoothly.
    For example, load this one in both and see the difference:
    http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=9151
    The motion in Safari 5 is jerky and not fluid at all. But in firefox it runs nice and smooth. Even in Chrome it's jerky just like Safari.
    I've tried both the 32/64 bit version settings and still the same result in Safari.
    Thanks..

    HI,
    Open Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities) Select the Network tab
    Click: Delete files
    Relaunch Safari.
    And empty the Safari cache from the Safari menu.
    Could be the site itself. An HTML validator came up with errors.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 and CC both very slow page rendering under Mavericks

    Dreamweaver CS6 and CC both very slow page rendering under Mavericks compared to 10.8.5
    Any ideas?

    One other thing I am seeing:
    When I open any document (html, javascript) inside DWCC now, then close it without any changes, DW asks if I want to save changes.
    I just tested this under 10.8.5 and there is no lag there, nor are documents mysteriously modified when opened.
    Note: I have tested this both with and without other Apps or extensions running in Mavericks and 10.8.5

  • Very slow page loading on Safari

    I am having problems with my Mac. I am not sure if it is the Safari software or something else. For the past several weeks my computer has been very slow at loading pages, going to the next page, going back to a previous page etc. Can anyone tell me what I need to do or check to make it run faster. It used to run very fast. Thanks Vickie

    I had a similar problem with Safari (or any browser) taking a very long time to load pages. Downloading files is fast (6 Mbit/s) so I knew my network speed was OK. I usually run wirelessly both at work and home and the problem was the same no matter where I was working. When I directly connected to an Ethernet line, browsing was fast again so I looked into the network setting for my airport connection and found I had switched the "Location" from "Automatic" to a specific DHCP setting. I don't know why but when I switched back to "Automatic" everything was fine again (super fast as before). Specifically, I just went to the "Apple" menu icon (top left and hit "Location->Automatic". That's all.

  • Why is my iMac very slow to download Safari

    I bought my iMac in Feb/12. It has run very well since then. All of a sudden in the last week, downloading Safari after turning on the computer takes a long time. Safari is downloading very slow and sluggish. Anything else I try to open after turning on computer also opens very slowly. I don't dare close Safari until I'm finished with computer now, because it will take forever to open it up again.
    I was running Bitdefender on my computer before. Bitdefender doesn't work right, so I uninstalled it, but still have the program in my Applications area. Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down? Is some form of Adaware doing this? Before my iMac, I use to have a Windows XP computer, and I'd scan for viruses in a case like this, which would usually help. But Bitdefender on here did not work, and now I'm wondering what I should do? Where should I even start? Because this can't continue.  Please help!  Thanks

    Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down?
    Yes. Back up all data, then uninstall "Bitdefender" completely according to the developer's instructions -- NOT by dragging an application to the Trash or hunting for files by name.

    I Describe the document because I have seen posts here of slow pages due to document structure. But I dont think this is document related because it happened it all the documents i opened and even just loading pages. My machine was as allways, all the programs running great except Pages.
    I also noticed that when Arrived at work and connected to the internet the Slowliness had ENDED.

    There are ways to stop this behavior. The best is to use *Little Snitch* which allows you to stop certain connections being made. Basically when the attempt to connect is made, *Little Snitch* intercepts it and lets you choose: Allow, Allow once, Disallow once, Disallow forever.
    4 Users who had *Little Snitch* also noticed that Pages '09 was trying to connect to a web advertising site. Why this happens, ask Apple.

  • Very slow page curls in a PDF

    I am creating an interactive pdf. I created the swf file, imported it into indesign (CS6) and exporting as an interactive pdf. My pdf is simple, it only contains page curls but they are very slow! No where near as fast as the swf file when viewed in a web browser. Why? And what is the solution?

    You're using a hack by running SWF inside PDF. There is no solution unless you just use the SWF file by itself.
    And what's the value of the page curl anyway. It's a way overused effect.

  • OS X 10.5.8 Running VERY slow since installing Safari and itunes updates.

    Installed latest Safari and itunes updates today. When my OS restarted the install took a really long time and since then the computer is so slow its un-usable. Its a Macbook Pro, 2.6 intel dual thingy (the model just before the uni-bodies came out).
    I have down the PRAM reset and tried launching in safe mode. Neither or these made any difference.
    I then started with an install disk installed and while holding down C. Again, it took a long time to boot, but once in that mode I launch the various utilities etc. So I opened disk utility and verify and repair disk...but it found no problems.
    Perhaps I should have repaired disk permissions?
    Also I thought this might be a lose ram issue or something. I don't have a screw driver to open up RAM slot and re-seat it, but also in 'about this mac' it can see the ram...?
    I am very frustrated right now! What have i done to my computer?!
    It was running 100% fine until I did this software update.
    ...and when I say it is running slow, to give an example clicking Apple/N in finder takes maybe 5 for that window to appear followed by another few minutes of the whirling wheel of death. Then I can click on the next item (apps for instance) and go through a similar wait.
    argh!

    No very clear idea of why it is behaving like that Samuel, but in 95% of cases it is some third party add-on, not yet updated for Safari 5, that is the cause.
    Please peruse the following, particularly with respect to Open DNS settings:
    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Browser is suddenly very slow-pages take too much time to load

    I have grown accustomed to quick downloads of urls. Within the past 24 hours, things have really slowed down. I have checked my internet connection, and since there is a router involved, checked that as well. Everything appears to be functioning normally and this is confirmed through diagnostics.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    /Users/puccinifan/Desktop/Mac OS- Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed.webarchive-have reviewed this article-no solution.
    Your expertise is welcomed by this Mac convert!!
    Very Best and Thanks!!
    iMac & HP Pavillion 830n-XP   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mac Convert for the apps-PC for the real job!!

    If the slowness is still there when you connect the Mac directly to the modem, bypassing the router, and the PC doesn't show the slowness, then there's something wrong with Mac. BTW, did you try it wih the PC and router totally disconnected from the modem? Do you have file sharing turned on between the Mac and the PC? You need to totally isolate the various components to determine the bottleneck. Once you determine that it's the Mac, then see what happens if you create another admin account user and log into the new account. If the slowness disappears, there's some conflict in the old account. If not, then the problem's system-wide and reinstalling the 10.4.6 COMBO update is the next step. If you still have problems, then an Archive & Install comes next.

  • Very slow page rendering compared to ie and windows...

    I recently setup a 64 bit athlon pc for a friend and have noticed that web pages load extremely fast using either firefox or ie on the windows machine compared to my power mac and power book running either safari or firefox. I've tried a lot of the suggestions to get safari to load pages faster but nothing seems to work. Am I alone here with this issue or do others notice this as well? I'm currently on a 6 mbit cable connection.
    Any suggestions?

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Very slow page loading, continuous loop,

    Have done everything I can think of to stop this page loading problem, sometimes I can click on the red X and it will load the page but it keeps showing the blue circle continuing as if the page was still loading. Error console shows many different explanations, and it seems that most of the time it shows something to do with Google Analytics, parsing errors, undefined property.

  • ADF 11g - Very slow page rendering

    Hi,
    In our application we have a page with many panel boxes which are by default visible='false'. On the selection of a row in the table the particular panel box would be rendered and shown on the page.
    The problem we are facing is with a very simple transaction, the user selects a particular type and there is a simple button which submits the records selected to data base and shows a popup. This process is taking very long. While debugging we have observed that the submission is happening fast but the displaying of the pop up and the page is time taking.
    When we removed all the code from the page and just left the code for the above transaction and did the testing there was no delay. The complete flow went very fast.
    We are using Fire fox 3 as our default browser.
    Can any one please help us in improving the performance of the page?
    Thanks,
    Manasa.

    Hi,
    We have solved the performance issue by tuning all the VOs being used in the Page. One more factor which increased the performance was clearing the multiple iterators that got created in the pageDef during the course of development.
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks,
    Manasa.

  • Very slow Pages, CPU at 100% all the time

    Hey there,
    I have some trouble with my Pages 2.0.1 on my PowerMac G3 with Sonnet G4-800. Every time the text window is in foreground and you want to write something, the CPU is at 100% ant the mouse is moving in discrete steps. Then, when I'm typing in, Pages is 3-4 words behind me. It is getting worse if I want to scroll in a document.
    All other Apps on this machine are as fast as they should be, incl. Keynote.
    I have no trouble at all with Pages on my PowerBook 1,5GHz.
    Has anybody some work around?
    TNX

    Try the following things, which all have been known to cause slowdowns.
    1. Do you have any PostScript Fonts installed? Some people have reported problems with some PostScript Fonts.
    2. Do you have any missing fonts? When you open the document, does Pages complain that it cannot find one or several fonts?
    3. Do you have corrupt fonts? Open FontBook, select all fonts and then File > Validate Fonts.
    4. Corrupt pictures, songs and movies in your home folder's Movies, Music and Pictures folders can slow down the product through the Media Browser. AVI films in the Movie folder can slow things down, as QT usually cannot play them.
    5. Go to View > Hide > Layout. For some reason the layout slows things down.
    6. Don't view Thumbnails.
    7. Use the Text Fit option "follow contour" instead of "follow a square" in the bottom section of the wrap inspector. (Or was it the other way round? Anyone?)
    8. If an object is set to wrap, and a wrapped side squeezes out any possibility of text wrapping along that side - such as extending a text box to the margin, the extreme slowdown will occur. So don't.
    9. Use as few objects as possible Fixed on Page. Instead use Moves with Text.
    10. Reduce the resolution of your screen.

  • Very slow page download on Itouch 4g 32

    Can someone tell me why my itouch 2nd gen 8g loads pages instantly while my supposedly brand new up to date 4th gen sometimes takes literally minutes to download pages. I did a back to back download of a picture from a site and the old device did it instantly while the new is still grinding away now with the little circular thing spinning and the status bar three quarters across and still a blank screen. It is absolute rubbish and i am very disappointed. So much for the super fast 4 processor. How can i speed this up? wifi signal is fine: Let me guess the response: restore seems to be the ongoing mantra but for a two year old device to work better than a brand new one means something is wrong.

    Hey yea tried this as you suggested. True the particular picture was rather a large file size. However with general page loading is faster on the 2nd gen (both running Ois 4). On the fourth gen a page will part load up and then maybe half a minute later fully load whereas the former is virtually instant. Very puzzling and expected better. I'd book a "genius" appointment at my local store but they don't live up to their name: restore, restore etc.

  • My browsing is very slow

    Hi
    I am experiencing very slow browsing with Safari.
    I have read a previous post but i'm afraid that was too tecky for me.
    I did deleted my history, my cookies and everything I could, even reseting safari.
    But still. I have to reload the pages a lot of time as they don't charge up fully.
    Could you please give me a nice and easy process (beginer tecky level!) for me to change that?
    I'd very much appreciate that.
    Carine

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.
