Wow, the speed improvement is very obvious on my Mac Pro. Everything has lower latency, from the URL auto-suggest to page-load speed. I don't know whether this is because of 64-bit recompilation, or leveraging Grandcentral, or both, but Safari 4 + Snow Leopard is a winner!

Those improvements are awesome. I wonder if 64-bit Firefox will get its own boost? I'm pretty sure they are late to the 64-bit optimization game.

Matt, yeah, it's a Chrome bug, I logged it a long time ago, they haven't fixed it yet. I have a version on disk that works.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to jump on Snow Leopard right away, but I'm seriously considering it this weekend based on all the positive reviews I've seen.
