Yes that is a highlighted feature.
Unfortunately I think they missed it a bit on that one. I typically have 2-4 safari windows upon with anywhere from a single tab to 15 tabs per. Gridding the tabs Top Sites style would be better than a long left to right snake. There is an extension for safari called Exposer or Tab Exposer but the download has been broken for some time and when I did have it on an old machine, it was somewhat laggy.

would you say your safari lags/slows down after having 15 tabs open? just wondering i never had so many open at the same time.
My iMac had 12GB of RAM and my Air has 8.
However I do still have to manage memory b/c iTunes (always running for Apple TV streaming access) and Safari (at least 5.x) are both RAM hogs. Apparently 6 manages RAM much better. I typically close all tabs, and quit iTunes and Safari on the iMac once or twice a week to reset usage, but I wouldn't call Safari laggy. I don't have Exposer on either machine b/c I couldn't DL it.
