Mine never locks up and it is faster than it was under Panther. I use Camino more than Safari on my PB though. On the other hand I use Safari on the mini and have never had it lock up.

Have you tried a different browser to see if the problem is general? I am not suggesting it as a solution but will help narrow down the problem to something in general being wrong or something specific to Safari. Do not use Shiira for this test though since it uses WebKit.

Which suggests that some add on for Safari does not like the version that comes with Tiger. Do you have any plugins you use in Safari?
