I haven't gotten to do anything super intensive, but I'm liking it so far,
too. It seems torun a lot of apps more smoothely, with less time loading the
app, and the app spending less time performing tasks.
The thing I don't like is, in Safari, if you pause too long on a link, it
provides text that isn't on the same line. A good example of this is on FB,
where I could have my cursor on the like button, and if I wait, it will begin
reading the status associated with that button. In other environments, that
sort of behavior can get confusing.
