Can someone tell me in layman's terms why the Safari browser is so slow to load and Firefox/IE is fast? I'm talking web pages. I've left it at default preferences.

Takes me 5-10 minutes sometimes to load, say, cnn.com, and that's if I'm paying attention and retrying all the time. On other wireless machines nearby it takes a second or two (Vista). Google sometimes takes a minute.

I think the wireless signal is less than optimal, although the mac thinks it's full strength. The Windows machines think it's 2-3 bars.
