Increase Safari’s (win) rendering speed

Apple’s native browser Safari has been released for PC platforms today but many found it to be more of a bloat app with show render times. The rendering speed is increased with a simple modification in this location:

“C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.resources”

NOTE: Make sure Safari is closed!

Open up Defaults.plist and add the following line:

<key>WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay</key>
<real>0.25</real>

This should make Safari Render faster :)
