I am using stainless now together with L-W 537 stand alone. I did not install it as a default.
It's pretty fast for a webkit browser, quicker than Safari, but still a bit slower than my unsecure Camino for optimized for powerpc. But it is still debatable, my wireless connection is really slow as a turtle.
For some reason this powerbook I am using will not connect to my dormitory's free and congested wifi. What I did was to create a BT-PAN using my macbook and share the macbook's wifi internet thru BT.
I will give it more time to build it's cache and probably it would gain speed over Camino.

Interesting... I have 537 installed and everything seems to be working fine.
I wonder why it didn't affect me?

Are you sure that you used the install system wide script and not just the enable advanced features script?

I had for a test drive for a couple of days, and it is really lighter than Safari in terms of memory usage, faster than Safari but it did not beat Camino for PPC in terms of speed.
It could be the memory usage of the installed extensions in Safari that is causing it to be memory heavy.
Camino still is best for me.

it said "install" on the filename... weird so far no down sides for me using that script
Sorry, you can't import bookmarks from TFF into Stainless. But you could use an external application to manage bookmarks. In the past I played a bit with AllBookmarks 4.0.1. I'm not too fond of it, but if you plan to use Stainless as your main browser it could be very useful.
