Just finished upgrading. Everything seems to work all except Safari which takes ages to load web pages. It starts and finds the page, the blue bar starts to increse then it just pauses for ages ...............
MacBook Air (11-inch Late 2010), Mac OS X (10.0.x)
I tried different DNS, etc, and yet Chrome, Firefox still had no pause and Safari was slower and paused. I played with extensions, preferences one at a time a and turned out to be Include Safari Suggestions in Preferences/Search, I unchecked it and Safari has been much more responsive and no long pauses.

Exactly the same problem. Tried different DNS, disabled/enabled prefetch, etc., but nothing fixes it. The problem is not happening in either Chrome or Firefox. I don't have any Safari extensions installed. On a first test, disabling Safari Suggestions does seem to help. Will keep an eye on it...
Try a different DNS server such as OpenDNS ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Relaunch Safari.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
Still testing this but it seems to have really helped.
After spending quite some time trying all the other suggested fixes on the forums with no success this one worked. Safari no longer pauses 1/2 way through page loads on Maverick. Many thanks for your fix.
