Safari slowing down my system?

I swore by Safari when I first started using it back in 2008, but the latest version with 'webkit2webprocess.exe" is causing some huge slow downs. I just can't figure out what's wrong, and why safari is sudenly a lumbering beast instead of the sleek predator that it used to be.
My system constantly caches, the bhard drive is constantly w eatorking with this thing installed. It eats up RAM, and more ram, and never dumps anything, untiol there's no more page filing space. Even now, after I wrote that last sentence my HD went active again. Sure enough, "webkit2" is eating up naerly a half gig of ram. And now when I type, I can't see what I'm typing. and now it's eating up my video ram because I've run out of file page space.
who the upgraded this thing, the marx brothers?
thjis used to be the best brower on the market, but hnow it's JUST a piece of ram eating junk.

I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.

Hi, I am using an old PC P2 450Mhz, 256 MB Ram. Is ver 3.6.16 ok for my system or will it slow down the system? Thanks

Hi, I am using an old PC P2 450Mhz, 256 MB Ram. Is ver 3.6.16 ok for my system or will it slow down the system? NODD is the anti-virus. I am not happy with IE or goolge as these are taking too much space. Thanks

The system requirements for Firefox 3.6 are:
* Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500 MHz or greater)
* 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
You exceed the minimum and are just short of the recommended processor. It should run OK but the only way to tell will be to try using it. Note that using add-ons can slow Firefox down, so if you start installing quite a few you may get performance issues.

Does a partition for Boot Camp slow down your system?

I'm gonna make a partition on my disk for bootcamp. Does adding a partition slow down your system when using Mac OS? I assume boot camp assistant creates a partition wherever there is enough required free space. And if this free space is in the middle of the disk, doesn't the system have to skip back and forth over the partition to access data?
Or does boot camp assistant create the partition at the end of the disk?
Thanks for your replies.

Boot Camp partition is generally created at the end of the disk so to speak. While the partition is created, files are moved and arranged so that there is a contiguous space for the partition.
NO it does not affect the OSx performance at all as long as you have enough free space in the OSx partition for it to perform satisfactorily.

Svchost.exe slowing down my system terribly

svchost.exe slowing down my system terribly. I ran the Kapersky program and no virus files came up. I am getting desperate. I am ready to kill my computer. Why is this process such a hog and how can I stop it?

To find what is causing your computer to use more CPU than it normally does you need to run this.
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit) http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx ,
Open a CMD prompt with administrative rights (right click it>run as admin) and run this command for 60 secs to capture the high cpu usage:
xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d cpuusage.etl
The trace will run and give you a warning then revert to a C:\ prompt
The log will be in C:\windows\system32.
It should be called cpuusage.etl
Please zip the file and upload it to skydrive (or another file sharing service) and put a link to it in your next post.

The great safari slow down.

For three days now safari has been very very slow to load webpages. When I type in the URL safari connects to the site and then can take 2-4 mins to load. Say I try www.bbc.co.uk it will take two mins for the home page to load.
If I switch to Firefox all websites load quickly so I know its not an issue with my dsl connection.
Pings and traceroutes to sites come back fine and responses are good.
Its just when I use safari.
I have emptied cache and history.
Restarted (many times in the last three days)
Reset my dsl router.
Checked cables
Turned off the built in 10.4.2 firewall.
Any Ideas ?

This is a wide-spread issue. Just check out all of the posts in this forum that relate to Safari slowing down, crashing, etc., etc.
I've been having the same problem for about 1 week or more. Tried all the things that you tried, including trashing Safari and reinstalling. I suspect that it has to do with a liveupdate of Safari software that occurred shortly before the problems began. I also tried trashing Safari again and reinstalling the older version. Didn't work.
The info I've read seems to indicate that the problem affects more than the Safari application itself; the installation may add components to the OS also. This would appear to mean that the problem can't be erased by just trashing the application.
This problem is affecting both Tiger and Panther. So far Apple has been silent, as far as I can tell. Meanwhile I've had to say goodbye to Safari. Unfortunate. There just aren't great substitutes for it.
Has anyone with a service support warranty (3 months) still in effect tried to call Apple support about this?

HT2055 Why does iPhoto crash or slow down my system significantly?

When I use iPhoto to import or work on my photos, it slows the entire system down big time and iPhoto itself continuously shuts down and I have to reopen. Just to import photos it takes several attempts to successfully get them imported to iPhoto. I love iPhoto and what it does but it is killing my system! Help!

What version of iPhoto and system are your running? How much free space do you have on your boot drive. Post just the first 50 lines of the crash report.

Select statement from bkpf slows down the system

hi guys,
i have this syntax for this coding:
        SELECT * FROM bkpf
         WHERE bukrs = ekko-bukrs
           AND awkey = xawkey
           AND gjahr = i_ir-budat(4)
           AND blart = 'RE'.
        CLEAR: titab.
        titab-ebeln = itab-ebeln.
        titab-ebelp = itab-ebelp.
        titab-budat = bkpf-budat.
        titab-bldat = bkpf-bldat.
        titab-xblnr = bkpf-xblnr.
        APPEND titab.
     ENDSELECT.
this coding really slows down the report seleection and sytem , can anybody advice on how to select the better way

Hi Ester,
First you need to avoid the select and endselect statement by using SELECT INTO TABLE.
Second issue is u are using non-key fields in where conditions are aweky, belnr and u r not using the belnr which is first key-field in the BKPF table.
Third one is try to use the fields in correct order which it is in table say in ur where codition it should be like bukrs, gjahr, blart, awkey,....
if you dont have a input field BELNR and u need to do really improve the performance with these input fields wht you have, its is better to create Secondary index with proper sequence for felds.
But i am not sure to give permission to create secondary index bec it takes more memory occupation like what exact BKPF tbale contains, you need to permission from client people along with BASIS people.
i am give sample code :
SELECT * FROM bkpf " try to specify the internal table with exact fileds instead '*'
    into table tbl _ bkpf
WHERE belnr = w_belnr
and    bukrs = ekko-bukrs
AND gjahr = i_ir-budat(4)
AND blart = 'RE'.
AND awkey = xawkey.
If sy-subrc = 0.
sory tbl_bkpf by belnr.
endif.
Let me know if any doubts.

Websites that slow down your system

My system was running slow there for a while, so I looked in activity monitor and found that safari was using up a huge chunk of my CPU. I managed to narrow this down to a particular site that I recently started visiting. Is there anyway that I can change my settings so as to use this site without it monopolising my CPU?

This issue may be the same as these as the symptoms are similar:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9522744,
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9592205
and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9399361
Before the situation TLP describes in his thread (9399361) I also encountered that Safari was using the amount of CPU you describe here.
This is an odd issue.

CPU and GPU slow down after system upgrade

Ok, I can't find anything similar to the question I have...but this forum goes on forever
As my system specs appear below, my machine was running quite comfortably a week ago, with same setup...minus the acrylic case and second 120GB hard drive.
At that stage I had "nomal" benchmarking scores 3dmark03 - 5850, Aquamark3 41.000, PC mark 2002 - cpu7020 mem8438 hdd1050.
Life was good and I loved my system
Then I decided it would be cool to upgrade to an acrylic case (which has better cooling with 3 fans) and a second 120 GB HDD to make a striped raid array.
My first concern was the raid Array. I was carefull to buy the exact same seagate hard drive, size etc. the original was only a month old anyway. The second was to use the intel southbridge chip for SATA RAID or the Promise controller? After researching these forums I decided to go with the Intel as it has more possible bandwidth and doesn't sit on the PCI bus.
I got the new case and wearing those stupid white gloves, proceeded to move the components over and trash my "old" metal case.
The windows NTFS format (full) flew by in 30 seconds and I was really impressed.
Once windows xp and all it's drivers and updates were installed, incl sound and graphics etc. I did a 3Dmark 2001 test before upgrading to Dx9...what a bad mark! 3Dmark2001SE - 9950 (terrible for this system).
I thought it was a DX problem...so I installed Dx9
Then opened that corecenter program (the old one, the one that doesn't crash...)
and my CPU was about 5c hotter than usual, it was running at 40-42c (I have standard intel cooling fan). It went up to 55 at times when running PC mark 2002.
This didn't concern me too much a the system was stable at 32-34c and the northbridge read 60c (but we all know that's not true , more like 35ish.
My PC mark 2002 is now cpu4200 - mem4800 - hdd1800
(at least the HDD improved!) LOL
I ran Aquamark3 next...29,900 (ouch!)
Previously my CPU was 8,700 and GPU was 5300
now the CPU read 4400 and the GPU 4600
I don't really notice the speed loss when working, but games and benchmarks tell a different story.
So, My question: What has happened? Why is my CPU power cut in half? and the graphics card slightly slower? The memory speed stayed the same and the HDD speed improved....not a worthwhile upgrade IMO
What went wrong?
Here are my theories.
1) The CPU and system case is getting too hot
Does the CPU "throttle" when it overheats? this could be the reason.
Also both HDD get really hot and the fan in front blows air over them, this hot air could be going over the CPU or GPU. Maybe get 2 HDD coolers?
should I buy a better CPU cooler like the Thermaltake spark7+ ?
2) The PSU does not have enough watts
I couldn't find traces of voltage lack or spikes...but it could still be a problem
3) The RAID0 array is a strain on the CPU and chipset
I'm not sure about this.
My appologies for the lengthy thread, but I wanted to be sure that anyone trying to figure this out had as much info as possible
Thanks if u can help me figure this out.

Perhaps I should upgrade the overall cooling. Get a Thermaltake copper fan and two HDD coolers.
Well, your temps sound allright, no need to worry them, if they really operate at that level.

The solution to set the FSB to 201Mhz sounds good. But do I set this in the BIOS or with Corecenter in windoze?
Propably meant to adust your FSB at BIOS, at least that is what I would suggest.

I will try to re-install the VGA drivers because something strange DID happen when I first installed them. I started with the hercules driver CD, this installed CAT 3.2 drivers. I then upgraded to CAT 3.7 and before it completed I got an error window (send, dont send).
Remove drivers AND ATI control panel first, and then re-install. Use drivers from ATI site, and rather Catalyst 3.7. I Have had problems with 3.8 Catalysts.

Still wouldn't explain why the CPU seems so crippled. I have managed to get a "normal cpu score of 7000+ in PCmark2002 by shutting down, restarting later and killing every process except explorer.
Do you have any processes that seem to eat more juice thant hey should? Arrange your processes by CPU usage and see if there is something strange.

If this cant be fixed I will reinstall over the weekend. Does anyone know of the RAID0 array on the southbridge causing a system slowdown?
I'm using Intel RAID and it works perfectly, no extra CPU usage is shown and it's pleasantly fast!
And Install latest Intel INF updates and Application Accelerator from Intel site. That's what I'm using, and works fine.

Safari slowing down over time

Hello,
     My computer has been acting up lately. It seems that everytime I've been on safari browsing the internet, It gets slower and slower but speeds up again after a while. I ran the EtreCheck application (below) and said that com.apple.mrt.uiagent.plist failed. I've been on a lot of other discussions about safari being slow and this is one of the problems. I've already checked my HD drive and it is running fine and clean. I'd like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Can i install mavericks on 2009 aluminium macbook 13 inch which came with snow leopard? or will that completely slow down my system

I have a 13 inch late 2009 macbook that came with snow leopard. At present I'm using mountain lion, will it be advisable to upgrade to Mavericks or my system cannot handle that and may completely shut down….since my model is out of make now I'm scared of taking chances. 4gb memory and 2.26GHz processor. Please suggest.

First make a clone backup of your Mountain Lion drive. If you upgrade and find you are not happy with performance, you can easily use the clone to revert.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. You will need an external drive for the backup.

Creation of 1000 Cost Centres will slow down the system performance

Hi,
Can anyone suggest us, that if we create more than 1000 Cost Centres will there be any system/server performance issue in
SAP Business One.
Thanks,
Vishwa

Hi Vishwa,
               You are 50 % correct, Application performance may get slow but it won't clash.
               Because If you create 1000 of Cost Center, for each transaction system have to search and have to do the entry for corresponding cost center also. So there is a chance to get low performance. But application won't crash.
               Also you check other mean also like network configuration, protocol priority, cache memory size increasing, page fault size and others.
