Safari 6.2.6 spinning wheel

Question

I have the latest Safari running on ML 10.8.5 and have noticed that recently any CPU load results in a spinning wheel which goes on for minutes until I quit and relaunch Safari. This is most apparent when on e.g. Facebook - clicking on a video link and then trying to go back to newsfeed in the same tab. This isnt  problem with Firefox or Chrome but I don&#x27;t really want to change. I have an etrecheck report but other than updating FlashPlayer (how do you do that manually - it only seems to prompt for an update randomly) I don&#x27;t see anything wrong. All other apps are running fine….any ideas?  In the &#x27;old days&#x27; I would trash prefs - is that still useful ?Thx in advance for any helpEtreCheck version: 2.2 (132)Report generated 5/29/15 4:24 PMDownload EtreCheck from http://etresoft.com/etrecheckClick the [Click for support] links for help with non-Apple products.Click the [Click for details] links for more information about that line.Hardware Information: ℹ️    iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) (Verified)    iMac - model: iMac8,1    1 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2-core    4 GB RAM         BANK 0/DIMM0            2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 800 MHz ok        BANK 1/DIMM1            2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 800 MHz ok    Bluetooth: Old - Handoff/Airdrop2 not supported    Wireless:  en1: 802.11 a/b/g/nVideo Information: ℹ️    ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro - VRAM: 256 MB        iMac 1920 x 1200System Software: ℹ️    OS X 10.8.5 (12F2518) - Time since boot: 6 days 20:57:33Disk Information: ℹ️    Hitachi HDT721032SLA380 disk0 : (320.07 GB)        disk0s1 (disk0s1) &lt;not mounted&gt; : 210 MB         Macintosh HD (disk0s2) / : 319.21 GB (35.89 GB free)        Recovery HD (disk0s3) &lt;not mounted&gt;  [Recovery]: 650 MB USB Information: ℹ️    Apple Inc.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.   These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn&#x27;t, select          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messagesfrom the log list on the left. If you don&#x27;t see that list, select          View ▹ Show Log Listfrom the menu bar at the top of the screen.Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.Please don&#x27;t indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.Please don&#x27;t post screenshots of log messages—post the text.Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That&#x27;s a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

OK - if anyone is still interested in helping. I have weeded every lexmark file that I can find and uninstalled all SIMBL components. The same thing is happening - requiring me to re-launch Safari. Console still reports03/06/2015 22:06:52.975 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[145]: (com.lexmark.bmlaunchd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 secondsAnyone know what the apple peruser does and why it is hanging on this lexmark &#x27;bmlaunched&#x27; ?Or how I can find out ?TIA

Any third-party software that doesn&#x27;t install from the App Store or by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.Whenever you remove system modifications (in this case, the Lexmark printing software), they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don&#x27;t know how to uninstall them. You&#x27;ll have to do your own research to find that information.Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product&#x27;s Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer&#x27;s website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you&#x27;re waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.Back up all data before making any changes.You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you&#x27;re sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
