Generally, it renders pages in a form as true to their original layout as possible.

I'm blown away how fast it renders pages.

Otherwise, IE8 renders pages with its own engine (standard mode).

Another example is Internet Explorer which will render pages in standards mode only when it starts with a document type declaration.

Safari now renders pages in a separate process from the display, and this model is supported for plenty of other programs as well.

Usually, they render pages faster than web browsers that include graphics because graphics need additional bandwidth.

Beta 2 takes less memory than its predecessor and appears, at least at a cursory glance, to render pages slightly faster.

Opera wants the EC to force Microsoft to follow "fundamental and open" standards for how browsers render pages.

I was hoping they would actually be rendering pages on their servers and sending us post-rendered or pre-rendered content.

Maybe not as snappy as Chrome, but some people don't care about that 0.25 seconds lost when rendering most pages.
