While it seems to have gotten slower since some of its earlier versions like (0.2.149.30) it is still by far the fastest browser by a pretty big margin when comparing javascript with DOM interaction.
In the jsballs fight timedemo it is twice as fast as the next closest browser. Chrome 1 completes it in 21 seconds while Safari 3.2 takes 46 seconds.

While it seems do be doing quite well in their tests javascript seems to be slower for a bunch of tests.
Its times in the jsBalls fight timedemo are a second or so slower than Firefox 3. And sites with a lot of animation done in javascript like http://www.dhteumeuleu.com seem to run slower.
