I have Pith Helmet installed but havent really entered any specific attributes...
Everything slows to a crawl when replying. This is just like it was in AI. What the heck do you admins do to these boards? I think it was a rogue java script or something... annoying as hell... I'm having deja-vu and amnesia at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. |

ZO: From what I understand, it's the animated smilie buttons to the right of the text entry window that cause the spike in processor load. I understand there's a way to turn them off in your preferences but haven't bothered to track it down.
Escher I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever. |

I know that this is no help, but this is one of the reasons that I stopped using Safari.
Wish that I could help out somehow. |

I do believe you can actually turn off GIF animations using PithHelmet. There should be an option to "Play normally," "Play once," and "No animation."

It's the animations. Animated GIFs have been CPU whores in Safari since 1.2 was released. Having more than just one or two on a page will peg the CPU(s) and even make typing of the page unbearable.
Anyone here have 10.4 Tiger? Has this Safari bug finally been fixed? As Luca said, it is possible to disable animated GIFs with PithHelmet. I use Safari all the time with that option set and don't have any problems at all. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Re-read the installation instructions. Once it's installed, open Safari and go to the preferences. Click the PithHelmet icon and choose "Once" or "Never" from the menu next to Play Animated GIFs.
