It's supposed to be much faster then 3.0

[thingie2]

I might give it a go, see what it's like.

Oooh, that sounds like something I might want to try out. Since I use Opera I tend to beta Fx a lot.

[serverguy]

Yep, I think it is faster. The tab browsing thing is cool.

I didn't find any bugs but I only used it for a short while in a VM.

Think I'll wait till its released though to use it properly.

[thingie2]

Yea, I'm going to wait till it's out properly as I don't have any sort of VM
