Hi all,
Our company develops a browser based software for project management. The software is buildt on the Windows platform, with partly .asp, and partly .net webpages, and with a SQL database to handle data.

We normally sell and deliver the software to our clients as an ASP-service, where customers access the software via internet.

The service is runned on Dual Pentium Servers IV 1.600 MHz, with Windows 2000 Server, MS SQL Server 2000 over a 64Mbit internet connection.

On PCs running WIN or WIN XP, with IE or FireFox, the service is pretty fast and stable, but we have a general "speed" problem - loading the webpages - when the service is used on Mac OSX with Safari or FireFox.

Anyone have a clue on what we could do to optimize the performance of our service for our Mac OSX customers? I realize the problem is probably complex, but we appreciate any suggestions, thanks! ;)

grab the time before you start loading the page, and compare it with a grab of the time at the end of the page. this will tell you if the server is lagging for some odd reason. if that speed is fine, then jump into some javascript to do the same thing with a start and end time on the client side. where you find the bottle neck, start capturing more times in there to pinpoint the lag.
