I always giggle when people proclaim Chrome/Safari/… to be the fastest browser. From reading my log files, I know that WebKit-based browsers make an awful amount of needless HTTP requests. WebKit seems to have a really bad caching implementation and will make requests for files it already has cached before their expiry time.
I knew before that WebKit had a problem there but I never quantified it. Now, I found out that WebKit-based browsers easily make 10 times as many unnecessary requests than Firefox.
In my log files, 3 % of all WebKit requests were answered with a 304/Not Modified, compared to 0.18 % for Gecko, 0.93 % for MSIE and 0.97 % for Opera.
