For the past few weeks, I've noticed a significant drop in page loading speeds in Safari. I wrote it off to the managing of my cable by Time Warner. This morning, after seeing the blue bar hang there for what seem forever, I tried the same page in Chrome and the page loaded FAST, as did many others. Is there something I can do to Safari to regain those load times I used to have?
