I haven't seen this discussed, but I've noticed Safari rendering is much improved.

Speed on complex javascript sites is very much faster with 3.0 in a 3G. Pages like huffingtonpost.com used to kill Safari about 50% of the time and on 3.0 they load consistently and about 25% faster compared to when they actually load my wife's on 2.x. This is pretty consistent across the board for all pages I've been suring on 3.0

You can now stop pages mid-load and instead of getting a blank screen, the page will stop rendering. In the past, some complex pages would go to blank if you stopped them from rendering while loading.

Anyone notice other 3.0 improvements in Safari?

I hated that, glad to see its better. Thanks for the info.
