Why is safari so slow with mountain lion?

Question

Every page that I load in safari is extemely slow after upgrading to mountain lion. I dont have any other applications and it takes way too long. I can open the same page on my PC much faster. I really hope Apple releases an update soon because this is terrible. Apple even promotes mountain lion as having faster speeds for safari (what a joke).

It would be better if you explained what your program actually does - does it just do a dump of all user processes, does it check settings - what does it do that the built-in diagnostics or a list of command line instructions do not provide (that has as advantage that it's much more transparent what goes on)?
It basically does the same thing as Apple > About this Mac > More Info > System Report, but consolidates the important parts into a concise report that is easily pasted here in the forums.
After all, you are asking people to run an untrusted and probably unsigned program, so I'm actually happy they display a reluctance to do this.
It is signed with my Developer ID. All you will get is the "downloaded app" warning from Mountain Lion with the default Gatekeeper settings that allow both App Store apps and Developer ID-signed apps like EtreCheck.
I'm not saying you cannot be trusted - I merely observe that the reluctance to run an unknown program is not only understandable, but even commendable..
And extraordinarily rare
