Has anyone updated to Safari 5.02 yet? Is it snappier? Or does it break anything?

I have been having a lot of beachballs with safari 5.01 any fixes on this?

Just installed update a few minutes ago.
Too soon to see if it "responds" better than previous version - a version that really annoyed me with it hanging up etc.

safari feels snappier and i haven't even installed it yet!


For me, Safari feels snappier and I haven't even downloaded it yet!

Seriously, though, I hope this new version gets rid of the auto-suggest "feature" when typing in the URL. When I type "howtodrawmanga.com," I won't it to go to the front page of my website, not my WordPress login page or whatever else it was that I last checked on my site.

Please let this work...I am so sick of this lame software that over the years just gets slower and slower. :(
Lately I can't even download most files I try...even right clicking just gives me a black page and then nothing shows up on my hard drive.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
