Safari 4 beta first impressions

Uh… its freaking sick. I will probably never touch Firefox or Camino after this. Page loads are probably around 4 times faster than Safari 3. Its especially noticeable on pages with poorly written javascript. For example, my banking website has a script that runs just after the page loads to display alerts, etc. In Safari 3 the page takes at least 15 seconds to load and actually has one of those awkward “blips” where the page acts like it is refreshed but really its just the js doin’ its thang. In 4 the page loads in 3 seconds and is ready to rock as soon as it loads up. Freaking. Awesome.
I think this new Safari is the Google Chrome for the Mac folks. Grab it here!

How long until we have a "top sites" facebook meme?
@ryan - well done. I'm glad you started it. I think in about 3 weeks it will be EVERYWHERE.
