Tabbed browsing in desktop browsers also brings concurrency with it. On my Macbook, I can open lots of links "In New Tab" and read them as they load, so not have to wait for any one of them to load except the first one. With the iPad, I have to wait for every single page.
The interface throws you to a new page, but you can go back to your previous page/tab without waiting for the current one to load and it will finish on its own unless the browser runs out of memory.
The interface does a poor job of exposing this feature.

You actually don't.
