I was just testing out Safari this morning, and it seemed to be faster, 
so I used Web Performance software to measure. Relying on general web 
surfing to get a speed impression is inherently inaccurate since the 
bandwidth between your computer and web sites varies from one minute to 
the next. We use a test suite of HTML pages to measure the performance 
of our own software so its a little more consistent.

I compared the speed of Jaguar with Mozilla, and the results were that 
Jaguar was 28% faster on big, complex pages with lots of images, and up 
to 50% faster on smaller pages. This is just using a few test pages and 
so isn't conclusive. (Sorry, I don't use IE, and don't have any numbers 
for it.)
