If you're building / testing websites, the majority of your time is spent using a browser, so if your computer appears to be acting slow, make sure it's your browser and not your computer. For the past six months, I've been under the illusion that my ibook is too slow and needs to be replaced....until I discovered Camino.

 

I've just downloaded the latest version, 1.6.9 and boy it's fast. Previously, I was using Firefox 3 and I kept seeing the dreaded spinning cursor every few seconds. Now, even with several windows open, it's lightening fast. I'm literally getting a days work done in half the time. Unbelievable.
