I tried it out, and it's very fast on some websites, but freezes the tab for a few seconds when trying to display others. A bit later (in 15 minutes or so) it completely froze the system toward the end of watching a video leaving the audio buffer to repeat. This is the first time my current Linux laptop has crashed since I got it over half a year ago, so I think it's not a great result for the browser.

This is very similar to the behavior I saw "random freezes during page load/render" on a different OS.

Overall, it was very fast on my system, except for this specific slowdown activity.
