Safari commandeering CPU
So I have a G5 2.0 Dual 2.5Gb Ram etc etc.OS 10.5.8 running Safari 5.0.4, Photoshop, Mail. simultaneously, sometimes other programmes are running also. Usually with no problems
As of late the computer has become increasingly prone to freezing for between 10 -20 seconds and then going on its merry way for a few more minutes. This has happened since the install of Safari 5.0.4.
When I check with Activity Monitor I can see that Safari is using over 50% of the CPU sometimes,even as much as 75%, even up to 97% on one occasion. Safari isn't doing anything it is only open at the Apple homepage, its not downloading or viewing videos just sitting with one page open.
Anyone experiencing the same thing or know of any remedies/ checks that can be done.
As always Thanks in advance.
