Just a note to reinforce the benefit of "Combo" system upgrades. At least, I think so...
I have been having the slow start-up of Safari for some time. I was running OSX 10.9 at the time. I was advised to remove an application called "Rapport" which was recommended by our on-line bank. I uninstalled it, but it made no difference. I checked for other files, including hidden ones, with "rapport" as part of the name and there were none.
Later I used the Apple upgrade to ElCapitan (Yosemite was never installed) but Safari still took minutes to open.
When the latest upgrade to ElCapitan was released, I decided to install the Combo update instead of the upgrade path offered by "Software Update". It took a while, but since then Safari has opened quite promptly.
No other issues noticed.
I've used the Combos in the past, but recently I've become lazy. Lesson learned.
