I'm with tortoise, Safari definitely has its own fair share of problems. Let's not get crazy here and pretend it's some how immune to bugs.
There's a series of things to try in-order when you get those symptoms without a corresponding spike in CPU activity in the Activity Monitor and significant errors in the logs - clear user caches (manually so you catch them all), check proxy settings, safe-boot (try it while safe-booted to eliminate a 3rd party background app as the culprit), toss history files from the Safari folder, log in under a fresh user account to isolate the issue, chmod and chown the app and the support files, etc.
That's the nice thing about Safari. Troubleshooting goes by the numbers. No obscure about:config settings to tweak and test.
