Poster solves his own problem with Safari running slowly and taking excessive CPU’s. Interesting troubleshooting.

Videobox was the culprit! I must\’ve accidentally installed the plugin when I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I turned off the plugin and my Safari\’s cpus have dropped to about 10! Amazing. I also took your advice and rebuilt the 1password data file and things are getting faster. I\’m going to keep going through the logs to see what other problems I have and try and troubleshoot from there. The only other program that has gotten slow is iPhoto \’09. Think I should rebuild the library? Thanks again for your help. I will list your answer as the correct one.
