Neat Little Tip for Faster Flash Startup in Safari

I was reading the feeds this morning and came across this wonderful little hint about removing the older version of the Flash plug-in for Safari. I had mistakenly thought that when Flash installed itself, it removed older versions of same, but I was clearly wrong.

The old version was in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and was a file called flashplayer.xpt. I removed the file and restarted Safari and we'll see if I see faster Flash load times. Even if I don't, it's nice to clean out the old dead weight every now and then.
