I just read this article over at Insanely Great Mac:

There is no other way to say it. Holy cow is this thing fast! I am currently testing Webkit build r30090 (DMG download link) against standard Leopard Safari 3.04. This unoptimized WebKit build version is running circles around the standard Safari browser. It isn't even close.
sounds like the new webkit is MUCH faster than prior versions and that Safari will benefit. So two questions:
can we expect to see analogous performance improvements in OW?
And if so, when?
