Safari was a beautiful creation until this last version, which is a total dog... but that's a different discussion for a different forum! 8^) > Try going to Finder->Applications->Utilities->Activity Monitor Already done that, nothing unusual.

Hadn't thought of this, I'll dig through it when I get a chance, thanks! I haven't had the time in my schedule to reinstall Logic, definitely not enough time to reinstall the OS, so for the time being I stuggle on... it's maddening because it seemed to start doing this all of a sudden, nothing changed on my system that I can tell. Sigh... the joy of computers. 8^) If anyone has any other suggestions before I reinstall / reformat-n-reinstall I'm all ears!
