   Page rendering does seem about the same...which shouldn't be 
surprising, it's using the same rendering engine.  What is faster is 
initial startup, opening connections, dialog boxes, opening and closing 
tabs...general *use* aside from the actual task of rendering HTML and 
images.  On my machines the renders are effectively instantaneous 
anyway, for all but the most complex pages like those containing huge 
tables.
