Yes, deferred scripts can be much faster than parsing blocking ones, so I'm not surprised you are seeing big performance wins here. But It isn't correct to treat a parsing blocking script as a deferred script. This would be a violation of the HTML5 spec and lead to broken sites because the execution order changes. The correct approach here is not a webkit change, but rather to evangelize that web sites use deferred or async scripts if the order they execute is not important.
