Anyone seen the performance of Safari in iOS 7?

sooo snappier.----------
If we factor in that we are still on the second beta, and that iOS 6 is a stable operating system, this could be true. But, according to "all" browser benchmarks, iOS 7 totally kills Safari in iOS 6 + almost every android rival. Impressive..
For the iPhone build I absolutely agree. For the iPad mini build, not so much, but thats probably due to the lack of optimisation more than anything.
I've actually ditched Chrome on my iPhone 5 in favour of the new safari, it's designed so much better than in iOS 6.

So basically what you're saying is that you're only willing to break your NDA a little bit?
If you're going to break NDA by posting about how fast Safari is in iOS7, why not post the numbers to back it up?

It's not a violation of the NDA to discuss a feature of iOS 7 that Apple has already announced (the existence of Safari on iOS 7) but actually posting performance statistics is a different matter.
It might be fairly quick, but Beta 2 Safari on the 4S I'm using is much less stable than Beta 1.
It crashes a lot.
Looking forward to improvements in Beta 3.

Interesting... The html5 score is higher then Safari 7 on Mavericks.
Tried a few sunspider tests on an iPhone 5 and iPad 3, neither were even close to 577.

As Zerilos stated, there is no problem discussing how fast Safari is if you don't post facts. If I uploaded Sunspider results, Apple could fine me big time, and really put me in big problem with court.
If you see the sun spider benchmark tool results you will find that iPhone 5 has improved results while iPhone 4 has poorer score and gets slow with iOS 7
Totally worth Apple's time and money...
I too know that Apple won't waste resources on only me. But, if every beta tester starts to publish results, then Apple will probably start a manhunt. And believe me, you don't want to be the hunted one.

Safari is, and will remain, the fastest browser on iOS. The nitro JavaScript engine is only used by Apples own apps, while 3rd party devs such as Google, gets a paltry engine to utilize their chrome browser on.
I suppose faster is always better, but Safari has been plenty fast for me since forever -- at least from iOS 4 forwards. What kind of things are you guys doing with a web browser that gets you excited over faster speed?
