Probably something like that, yeah. I'd be curious to see if anyone notices a difference or if they can benchmark it.
Got a tip for us?

You can still use WebKit. It just uses whatever version of Safari you have installed as its shell.
And man, Safari 4 renders pages FAST!!!!! Wow!
Oh, news to me. Guess we'll have to wait for something from Agile.
Just found instructions to fix this: http://tinyurl.com/cpmfjv
Works for me
So far I'm loving it. It will take some time to getting used to all the new features and changes but so far so good.
Thanks Apple.
Thanks Apple.
A couple of things I need to get used to (location of tabs and refreshed button) but so far its addressed all of my complaints about Safari and is super fast.
Customizing Top Sites
Not sure if someone's posted this, but you can add a site to Top Sites. First click Edit in the Top Sites window. Then, in another window, open the site you want to add. Drag its icon from the address bar, into the Top Sites window. It will be added, and pinned so it stays there.
There's a bug where the Remove (X) button doesn't appear for the new site. But if you close the Top Sites window and open it again, it will appear.
One thing I haven't been able to figure out: some of my Top Sites appear with the top-right corner folded down, to reveal a little white star on a blue background. Clicking the star doesn't do anything special. Any idea what these are for?

Strange browsing habits. Far be for me to preach but...
Something tells me he didn't mean to do that.
Like the improvements very much, but a colleague noted that Microsoft Hotmail doesn't seem to work in this version. The inbox opens, but it's impossible to open any e-mails. Weird
I, too, have noticed this. It is quite frustrating.
Overall, I am very disappointed with this beta. I realize it's not a finished product so i'll withhold further judgement, but I did not notice a major speed difference than this and 3.2.1. This may be due to just having an incredibly fast internet speed at my college. It did not nothing to alleviate wait times for Last.fm (sluggish site) or my Drexel Email. With the flaws and changes I just decided to revert back. We'll see what the final version brings.
Thats on your university IT staff then as we use Exchange here with Safari/Firefox on OSX with no issues....now...keep in mind it is a dumb down version of even the OWA in Windows with IE, but it works, and has worked for past several years...
Thanks, man. I actually uninstalled the beta after ca. 4 seconds, because I could not stand having the tabs on top. Now that I found this post, and the post detailing how to make 1password work with it, I may give it another try.
Thanks...
