like the blue bar thing at the top that shows how much has been loaded, when i go to a page it always stops right after http:// and then takes a few seconds then starts to go more its annoying as shit.

Yeah, I've noticed my buddy's Safari is really slow on his laptop. Even the school's computers on IE are faster (same network).

mozilla firefox works for macs too, you don't need camino. i've never had a slow browser issue on my mac so I realy don't know what you could do to speed it up except try using firefox

Camino isn't exactly Mozilla for Macs. Its more like Gecko (the open source html renderer that mozilla uses) with Cocoa (apples native graphics API).

I meant to try firefox to see if your internet was slow to see if it was a problem with the computer or safari itself. You probably resolved this already.

idk man but mine is insanely fast. might be your network settings or something...if your router is not the right type that could be the problem as well?
