I also suspect that this may be why when I upgraded to Safari 5 that loading a large number of tabs simultaneously caused many of the later tabs to time out.  The first couple of tabs would presumably load, causing many DNS look ups to be fired off, and cause some of the later DNS look ups to load other tabs to time out.  If you load multiple pages simultaneously (which I do all the time, with a folder set to open multiple tabs) then these top level tabs should take precedence over DNS look ups that are the result of loading a page.
