Disabling Flash does improve things (especially on sites like the nytimes). Still no real competition for the wonderful MicroB as it's still quite sluggish. Does seem to be more stable than the last release candidate that used to always crash after loading a couple of sites. Good to see that they are still plugging away at it.

Makes me really wonder what Chrome would be like on the N900. I'd love to see Google provide some competition on Maemo, as well.
