I don't have any hard numbers, but on my iBook connecting with
Airport over dialup, I think iCab beats Safari. I haven't held a
stopwatch to any pages, but I think that iCab starts rendering
text before Safari does. I also like the ad and image filtering in
iCab, which really helps speed a dialup connection. Of course
both Safari and iCab are still beta versions, so anything's
possible in their final releases. iCab has more control over
cookies and other preferences, so if you're fussy about that
kind of thing (like I am), you may not want to make Safari your
primary browser.

If you have a broadband connection, everything I've read about
Safari makes me believe that it may very well be faster than
any other browser. If you're using a Duo you can forget about
Safari, so enjoy iCab - or Wannabe, which is really fast.
