I have a 1.5Ghz powerbook running OS X 10.3.9. If I upgrade to Tiger, will Safari load webpages faster?
Thanks for helping a rookie out.

Well its possible but it depends more on hardware then software.

It is significantly faster, and will be faster still in 10.5 (as you can see by getting the nightly builds).

I noticed significant improvements on my 1.25ghz Mini. 10.4 ran much faster in general.

Yes, Safari is MUCH faster on 10.4 than 10.3. It's really noticeable on my iBook. I was really amazed when I installed 10.4...

When 10.4 first came out everyone commented on how much faster Safari is. I have to agree with them.

Safari itself isn't much faster in Tiger (2.0) as compared to Panther (1.3). This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, given that they have the same codebase. However, the underlying system that supports Safari is greatly improved, to the point where Safari -along with just about everything else- benefits significantly.
In the end, I suppose it doesn't matter where the speed boost is, as long as there's a visible boost (which there is). But I figured I'd point it out in the interest of being accurate.
