A few weeks ago, Apple pushed out an update to Panther's Safari that solved some Javascript performance problems I had been seeing earlier (in particular, history pages could be horribly slow before the update). If that version is fast enough, then yay. As always your mileage may vary.
It would _not_ be worth your while to upgrade to Tiger for that ...
Thank you, IM, that's very helpful. I think I do have the latest version of Safari, but the problems are multiple. If I have more than one browser window open, I get the closing pizza when I try to close them, and I have to force quit. It can barely get into Wikipedia's main page. Very slow to get into history, unbearably slow to do diffs. WP apart, it can't seem to find files that I want to attach to e-mails (it just says "local string not found"); the same when e.g. I download a music file from Amazon to listen to (local string not found). And various other problems I won't go into, but none of which I had with Safari 1.2 - except with 1.2, whenever I edited a page with accents, I'd leave behind a trail of red links and weird symbols where the acutes and umlauts used to be. ;-)
