Basis for your claims? The matter of browser speed depends on the computer, on some IE is the fastest, some FF etc. Even if a certain browser is fastest according to you doesn't mean it is fastest for rest of the world.

Exactly
You don't have to go that far to see that it's the slowest browser for most of the people who've tried it. Just look on Neowin in the forums at all the people who've said that. When I tried it, it was the slowest browser on my system as well, but I didn't automatically assume it was like that for everyone else in the world who has it. I'm not one to think soo highly of myself that if something doesn't work right for me, it HAS to be the same with the rest of the world.
Safari is hands down the worst browser I've used on any platform.
EDIT: Web Developers will probable use Safari for tests, but that's it!
