im not sure if firefox is actually noticably slower than safari, because on my powerbook 500mhz, they are about the same in rendering (read: very fast). However, in UI response, safari's big advantage is that it is very responsive, and that may be why you see Gecko as being much slower at rendering pages.
I bought a G4 powerbook about a year and a half ago, and about a month ago, the cdrom drive failed. I called up apple, and though I did not purchase additional apple care, they replaced my drive free of charge, and they had it back to me in about 4 days. Though the process was smooth, I'm sure they will treat you even better if you have applecare.
