What's with Safari doing so poorly compared to Konqueror? I was under the impression that Apple was keeping Safari's KHTML engine revved up, and delaying returning patches to the community. Do I hear wrong?

A pianist who has learned the wrong system of fingering cannot become a virtuoso until he has laboriously taught himself the proper method.
My site is slo-o-owly being reconstructed; visit anyway.
As I recall, the underlying engine is open source and under constant development. Apple may be slow in returning any patches to upstream, but its also not constantly updating Safari to the latest KHTML patch level.
I may try Safari on Windows tomorrow, see how it fares
