Safari 4
"Since its debut, Safari has offered Mac users hassle-free browsing, standards-friendly HTML rendering, and a number of thoughtful and handy features to make surfing the Web just a little bit more fun. Its triumphant new version continues all these trends with style–and bolts on a jumbo jet engine’s worth of pure speed.
Performance
Remember the DeLorean from Back to the Future, leaving tracks of flame in its wake as it shot into another era? That’s the impression one gets when comparing Safari’s performance to that of its closest rivals...
In XHTML rendering, Safari’s 0.54 seconds clocked in at nearly seven times faster than Firefox 3’s 3.42 seconds, and still thrashed Firefox 3.5’s 2.82 seconds. Even Chrome, which uses the same WebKit rendering engine that powers Safari, could only manage a respectable 1.14 seconds."
