I'm not a browser performance expert but a quick answer is that it depends on what you look at. The Mozilla based browser will open properly many popular websites that Opera can't render totally (see all the rich AJAX family).
You are correct. The quick answer is that it depends on what you look at. On N800, MicroB renders most pages better than Opera but MicroB engine has issues on some web pages where it loses touch scrolling completely or loads slower. Having a choice of engines is nice so you can choose the correct engine if you know which works on which website better.
I have come across many websites where MicroB engines loses touch scrolling and the two popular websites that I recommend for testing this are http://www.wsj.com and http://www.cnn.com.
The indirect feedback I have received so far is that it is not fixed in ITOS2008 yet is because it is a little complicated...
