Safari either crashes or hangs

I'm not sure if I have a setup problem or if there's something I need
to do with Safari. Invariably I'll have several tabs open and then
I'll go try to do something with Safari and I'll get rainbow
"pinwheel." Sometimes after a time it will go away and other times
Safari just stops working and I'll have to do a force quit. Other
times I'll be doing something like going to another site when all of a
sudden Safari will just crash and burn. I don't have a clue what
could be causing this behaviour. Anyone got a clue?

Obviously providing a clue as to what your trying to
do will help. What do you mean by several tabs.\???

I have Safari set to open a new tab and this will happen if I receive
a link in email or a link that someone sends me in iChat or similarl
situations. I find that if I have a lot of tabs open the browser will
become sluggish and eventually give me the rainbow pinwheel and then
crash. I'm not sure if it's due to multiple tabs being open or
something else is going on.

I see now, interesting way of setting up the browser, maybe a bit like
having multiple windows open,....how much ram could an issue especially
if the links contain scripting thats using large amounts of system
resources. I find the browsers (any) will freeze or in this case start
the ball rolling :) if the contain alot of stuff for the browser to
handle. One reason I don't like poorly constructed flash sites.
