I hope you also get a chance to install Opera Mobile for Android when it's released so that you can comment on the GPU acceleration and ultra-smooth scrolling/panning/zooming.
As regards scrolling, FF is as fast as the stock browser. When pinch-zooming, it takes a little bit more, but then the chars are much nicer. FF is a beta, but it's already my browser of choice on the Tab. Unfortunately no flash yet, or I wasn't able to find the way to install it.

I tried also Opera mobile - not the GPU accellerated version - but in my hands it doesn't give anything more than the stock browser, which is already quick enough on a 3g connection. And - Opera mobile didn't allow me to change the user agent the way I can get free online newspapers . FF instead has an add-on which allows changing the user agent to that of a desktop machine.
