Safari lagging badly. How to get it going again?

i'm running 3.1.1 and has been working fine for months.
Today the scrolling started getting really jerky and even entering text on web pages there seems to be a time lag between actually typing and it appearing on screen.
I've emptied the cache/autofill cache and even reset safari. Nothing seems to work. I haven't installed any new software or changed any settings.
The only thing i've done was mess around a bit with the flash player settings last night but it didn't seem to affect anything at the time.
Can anyone suggest a way to fix this. I've just converted to mac from PC and it's all a bit confusing at the moment.
Thanks

Hi Stevo and welcome to the forums!
Try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

Workflows are stuck, how do I get them going again?

Hi all, we are on ECC 6.0 and we had a situation a few days ago whereby suddenly the wf-batch id was no longer able to communcate with the production system and all workflows stopped.
When I look at them via swia, it shows that they are in status "Ready". I don't know how I can "kickstart" the processes again so they will continue on running again from where they were interrupted. When I look at the workflow log for the last workitem, the message says "execution interrupted".
Any ideas on how I can get these going again in txn SWIA?
Helpful answers will be rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Marty

Hi MB,
if problem is with WF-BATCH, then I think tell your basis to check the user-id.
I had a another issue with WF-BATCH, where I had to finally delete WF-BATCH and recreate it automatically from SWU3.
Please wait for Guru's to reply on ur thread.
Hope it might help.

My iMessage stopped working, how do you get it going again?

iMessage stooped working (suddenly). Anybody else had this problem? How do you get it going again?

I found and followed advice from "Ralph" about a similar problem. His "Read This" connection was very helpful. I followed the instructions for "Before Resetting the SMC" and when I finally rebooted my MacBook the camera worked with Photo Booth. So, I'm a happy camper. [Thanks, Ralph.]

Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?

This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.
