Safari 4 takes a month to launch

Question

Well, not a month, but literally 20 min. I had an earlier problem where Safari wouldn't launch at all, but fixed that thanks to Carolyn Samit. Now it just takes forever to launch on my PowerMac G5 dual 2 GHz. Once it launches, it works ok, without any perceptible delay. Safari 4 on my MacBook Pro launches fine. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Good.
How much free disk space?
Also, if you have third party Safari add-ons installed, that could be a factor.
Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

If you haven't booted from your install disc recently and checked the startup disk for errors, considering the problems with Aperture and now Safari,it would be a good idea to that.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
