I would beg to differ... My experiences on safari have always been slower (and safari was running on its native environment of OSX, so either safari is slower or OSX is slower)
I think this is one of those thing that's different for everybody. For me, Safari 3.1.1 on OS X is about the same as Firefox as far as speed goes. On Windows, I found 3.0 and earlier to be very slow (they were beta, after all), but 3.1 and 3.1.1 have been about the same as Firefox.

Ewwwwww! That's a definite reason NOT to choose it, it's so annoying that Mac OS X apparently only can display blurry text but to spread the disease is insane!
I always have a hard time not taking it personally when someone puts down the OS X font smoothing, which is one of my
main reasons for choosing Safari. It's like they're implying that I have bad taste in text rendering.
Seriously, though, I don't understand why so many people hate the rendering. There's a bunch of people on the internet who want Safari for Windows to use ClearType. Why? Talk about blurry text! Apple did the right thing by including the OS X font smoothing.
