Ilija,
Since you develop on OSX maybe you can assist with this?

Sorry, I can't help you. I never had GD2 on Leopard running (still using Tiger on my primary development machine) and best thing I can suggest is to Google it or use one of the precompiled packages like XAMPP.

Actually the cache would have been in Safari's favor. I had already loaded the pages several times in Safari. In Firefox I was opening them for the first time.

I've noticed that Gmail and other Google apps also move a lot quicker in Firefox 3 beta 5 than they do in Safari...so I think it's some extra work that's gone into firefox for these dynamic type of apps. (However it's interesting to note that Basecamp seems to run at the same speed in either browser.)

Both browsers render and execute page behavior pretty fast. I use Firefox 2 and Safari 3.1 and haven't noticed any rendering speed issues in either browser (Firefox 3 should be even faster).

Firefox 3 beta 5 loaded pages nearly instantly. Safari 3.1 took anywhere from 1-5 seconds to load the same pages! Running both on Mac OSX 10.5.

Any thoughts on why this might be? We work with a lot of vendors and client who use Macs.
