This has been a problem for years, but webkit has never been able to process
these layouts with any kind of speed, often times scrolling itself becomes an
impossible task, beach-balls and other excessive lag issues. These issues
impact no other browser near as bad as webkit. This profile is but one of many
examples. it's better in the 522 nightlies but still pretty bad. I've used
firefox, camino, and windows IE7 to test same pages and found safari is
definitely by far the slowest, to point of not even being useable.

is another url not as severe. But what I suggest is some engineers spend a good
day just surfing profiles and seeing where the handicaps are. myspace isn't an
important site, but it is a very popular one, one that MANY safari users hold
importance on. So it should be at a high priority to be speeding up to make
much more tolerable. I've had to go to point of actually blocking layout
domains in hosts file just to make some profiles browsable
