Safari - Clear Cache

How long do you wait before giving up and force quitting?

Sometimes I get the spinning beachball of death for a moment or two, but it eventuallly goes away on its own.

I used to clear the cache all the time to preserve RAM, but now it seems that clearing the cache does not really free up much RAM and I only do it occasionally.

Try repairing disk permissions in the first instance. If the problem persists then close Safari, drag <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/Cache.db to the trash, restart Safari the Cache.db file will be recreated.
