Once you leave the coziness of your home to go back to corporate land where most of us have to go to earn their living, you will quickly find out that the poster was right: Most of the time there is no way around using Internet Explorer. Most corporate Intranets require IE to work properly. And while Sharepoint also works acceptable with Firefox nowadays, it's only really comfortable to use with IE. And since Sharepoint has become a de facto standard in many corporate environments, you know what browser you want to use with it.
And that, once again, leads us back to this reality: Apple is not a player in the corporate field. They're a consumer brand.
Well Mail seems snappier..
We cant say Safari since in general it is. so lets make something else

Using Safari, for me, this site will render and animate in less than seven seconds. I was waiting for something more to happen and, after seven seconds, I realized that the page was done.
The problem is probably something with the way that your Mac is set up with Safari plug-ins, etc.
Still bad on iGoogle and Apple Store
At store.apple.com it fails on the first or second click with "server unexpectedly dropped connection." iGoogle custom home page loads only partially -- some gadgets show only the title bar, and none of them show the settings dropdown. Again, no problem in Firefox.
Other people have seen the same trouble:

No hacks, just plug-ins that aren't too fancy. Maybe slightly unusual: WebEx, Dimdim, Move Networks player.
I do use OpenDNS, but that's at the OS level so doesn't explain why Firefox would work fine.

I use OpenDNS as well. I also use clicktoflash and 1Password. Never ran into the Apple store problem. I don't use iGoogle so I can't comment on that one.
Now THAT site doesn't render at all in Safari. (at least mine) just shows the PHP as text.
I am very satisfied with the update, not a single crash yet. For those wondering about Flash, the issues I assume they fixed in the 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4 probably relates to the rare occasion where the plugin crashes and crashes the browser - 9/10 when the plugin crashes the worse thing that should happen is the loss of flash content on the page. There is the rare occasion, however, when the plugin dies and takes down the whole browser with it. I hope that some time in the future they extend the process isolation out to individual tabs - there will be an increase in system resource use but I think it is a good use of resources if it means a more robust experience given how important the browser is as an application platform.
Really a browser that has not been updated in over 2 years?
I've tried them all and to be honest with you only one blows them all away with fast speed and very little use of system resources.

Yeah I had the same problem, but a reset cleared it up at least for now.
Apple needs to let you turn off the top sites feature. The pre-fetching stuff often beachballs and stalls Safari and thrashes the hard drive.
20 minutes of using Safari and it hasn't beach balled once!!
Look at Activity Monitor.
Me toooooo......
That loading little bar which almost cover the "stop/reload" is really annoying.
Why they can just not make it like this.
