Don't know why, but this is the best Safari 4 has felt for me in a long time.  |

I repaired permissions before and after. The log on the after was 22576 words. Seems like a lot going on there.

| I'm not sure, but the developer release of Chrome still feels faster to me. In fact, much faster on sites like CNN. |

Yeah, that is an impressive list fuentecigar. I ran it before and after and got the same monster back. I'm kinda glad that I ran now, which I don't do as often, so thanks.

Chrome screams on my Mac mini in Snow Leopard. I can't wait to see the final release. I still like those tabs on top as well. I wish Apple would have kept them up there in the final release of Safari 4. The beta was much cooler! |

Thanks 4 link. I been waiting 4 Chrome 4 a while. It works well on Windows and I expect the same or better on the Mac side. Its beta and still looks better than anything else I think.

Word Cali! I just gave it a whirl after seeing the link and it's most impressive. |

I ran a repair permissions several times and this won't resolve:
| Quote: | Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
|
What's the deal here?
ETA: Never mind. I found it in the 'safe to ignore' list. Kind of annoying though... |

I hate when things don't get repaired like that and hang around. |

This [Chrome 4.0.245] is definitely faster than Safari; much snappier, more responsive. Other than that, it looks a lot like Safari. Seems they copied it. The text seems cleaner too. It appears to have some cursor problems though.
