Hey have anyone noticed Safari being Slower after Installing LION OSX ?

I purchased the LION OSX as soon as they have launched it and from the day I had Installed this OS , my Safari Browser is not the same ( in comparision with speed ) as in Snow Leopard . I have deleted all the Cache , Reset the Safari many times as instructed by the Apple care to make it much responsive as it used to be . I don't know whether you people might have this problem or not ! If you know a solution to set right this problem please give the Solution . I am using OPERA browser right now and its good .

Thank You .

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...

Open System Preferences > General

Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps

Restart your Mac, try Safari.

How much free space on the startup disk? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

I was having alot of problems with safari when I upgraded. I have upgraded my memory to 8GB and have seen a great improvement with performance under Lion. Make sure you are not running to many things.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.

While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.

As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?

After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
