Independent testing revealed that Safari is indeed faster than IE and Firefox
The Web Performance testing company conducted independent browser testing and confirmed Apple’s June statement stating that Safari is faster than Microsoft and Mozilla browsers.
Michael Cheiszperger, senior manager of Web Performance, decided to determine whether Safari 3 for Windows really works faster (displays web pages faster) than Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2, and if so, how much.
Michael for two days measured the rendering time of the sixteen most popular sites rated by Alexa in different browsers and at different times. In addition, he measured the rendering time of the pages of the same sites stored on the local server in order to prevent server delays.
Cheyshpurger said that in all tests Safari was the fastest browser.

However, the differences in downloading from the local server between Safari, Internet Explorer and Firefox were minimal. When reloading pages, that is, the elements of which were stored in the cache, Safari was also in the lead with a barely noticeable margin.
During the first boot, Safari was faster by 1.1 seconds than Internet Explorer 7, and 1.4 seconds faster than Firefox. For sophisticated owners of high-speed Internet access this may indeed be a noticeable difference, but in principle it is minimal and not at all critical.
Thus, it turns out that even though Safari is not as fast as Steve Jobs claimed (who said that Apple’s browser is faster than IE twice, and Firefox is 1.5 times faster), it is still the leader among Windows browsers. Here, however, it is worth remembering that the Web Performance company forgot to add to the comparison Opera, which seemed to be famous for its speed.
