As I said, I found that's true in both 10.4.11 and 10.5.8, but the
curious thing is that this also seems true with Firefox 3.6.3. And
Street View seems quicker too.

Clearly I must be wrong, although the restart indicates that Safari may
have brought some underlying display goodie with it. Or maybe it just
cleared out some cruft...

From what I can see in the Safari 5 developer documentation, this will
allow things like 1Password to work completely legally. Brilliant!

I wonder if this will be a useful alternative to instapaper. I love
that application but I also like having as few 3rd party apps as
possible so if reader works as I hope & it works on the iphone it
might be interesting alternative.

I wasn'ty able to properly test launch times but the app itself certainly is
snappier.

That might be part of it, yes.

NIce, it's very noticeably faster.

Also a big respect to the 1Password guys, they released their updaate
before Safari 5 was released. Well done.
