It looks like one of the areas that's causing some performance trouble is the Icon database.
OmniWeb 5.1.3 and final versions of 5.5 use a database that had a number of problems (like growing infinatley). The WebKit database that we're using now is an improvement however some people are still having trouble.
For a time during the OmniWeb 5.5 sneaky peeks we were using the default location for this database at "~/Library/Icons". We eventually had to switch back to our 5.1.3 database because the new one wasn't stable enough. This was enough for a lot of people to get a user default set that points to the "~/Library/Icons" database and not the one we want you to use now that we're once again using the WebKit database.
If you're seeing a delay when working with bookmarks and possibly even when loading pages you might check to see which database you're using. To do this open a terminal window and run this command:
(IMPORTANT I recommend backing up your preference file before doing anything here. The file you want to backup is: "~/Library/Preferences/com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5.plist" where ~ is your home folder.)
If it returns a message like this:
You're using our default. If it returns a different path (like "~/Library/Icons") then you're not. To revert to using our default run this command:
Hopefully that will help speed things up a bit.
