You mean it uses the microb engine, ignoring the setting in the browser engine chooser? This happens sometimes, restarting the browser daemon (as root) helps:

/etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon restart

Another interesting thing I noticed is that webkit is much slower when booting from SD-card on my N800, even a fast Sandisk Extreme III, than when booting from internal flash. No idea why this is so, but I found it a bit surprising.
