New tab with sidebar slow to load

I updated to Mavericks on my Macbook Pro Retina yesterday.

Safari 7 has an issue with loading a new tab, when the sidebar is on for new tabs.

When I click the plus symbol for a new tab, there is a pause: the new tab takes 2 - 3 seconds to load.

When the side bar for new tabs is off, the new tab loads instantly.

I have reset Safari, and restarted the Macbook Pro. This hasnt changed anything.

I have no extensions installed.

Anyone else finding this happening?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Try emptying the cache.

With Safari open press Command + Option + E on your keyboard.

Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

I will try this when I get in and report back, however I thought that resetting Safari did this automatically anyway (and I have already reset)?

I have discovered thats its the Twitter information (the fetching of information process that happens in the sidebar) that is causing the delay when opening the new tab.

If you turn off the sidebar OR change it to bookmarks, then the delay doesnt happen.

I wonder if Apple are bothered by this, looking into fixing the anonying delay?
