I think they also need to address some safari issues. I am a big fan of safari. I have even been using safari on windows for many years now. I have noticed for the first time that safari 4.04 hangs up a lot and the speed is very slow as compared to previous versions. I am using snow leopard on macbook pro.

Recent builds of WebKit have almost fixed an issue that has existed since 2005. The load time part is fixed, response to user input is still a problem.
My hope its fixed is Mail rules entry window size control. When more than 25 rules are entered on my MacBook pro or G5 iMac the rules window extends off the screen. Another problem that has existed for years, since 10.4.x
