@cromwellian:
Glad I read your comment before responding. I was going to point out that SquirrelFish is definitely not in Safari 3.1.x. In fact, I’m not sure that it’s even in the nightlies yet, but I could be wrong. But yes, WebKit has made many performance improvements over the latest Safari release, both before and in SquirrelFish.
.
As far as the nightlies go, yeah it pretty much runs the Safari shell around the WebKit libraries (but at least on the Mac version anyway, it does not identify as the same application).

Some people will note that it says “Safari 3.1 (SquirrelFish)”. I presume that the WebKit nightlies for Win32 contain SquirrelFish, and when I run the WebKit nightly batch file, it launches Safari, and the “About” menu item reports 3.1.x It definately is showing a performance difference vs the Apple Safari, so I’m guessing it just launches the Safari app and replaces some DLLs onload.
