My personal safari-hate has to do with the coloured beachball. For some 
godforsaken reason they lock the whole bloody interface when it hits a 
page which is somehow complicated. I've got a machine with enough oomph 
to allow me to switch to a different window and continue working there 
while the 'complicated' page loads in the background, but noooooo, 
instead it bloody locks up.

Try it sometimes - open worth1000.com, and command-click on several 
contest links to open them in a tab each. Each loads a page with a fair 
number of images (well, it's a photoshop contest, remember?), but the 
beach-ball kicks in when I hit two links in succession, and I will have 
to wait until those two pages, who aren't even bloody visible because 
they are in hidden tabs, are loaded.

sometimes I think they built in a limit - once it is requesting more 
than 3 things at the same time, stop the user from doing anything else. 
Like I haven't got 2.5 Mbps cable here. Hateful. What the f... did they 
invent threads for?
