This is a great point. A lot of focus seems to be placed on beating Chrome. As long as browsers have about the same performance, then the other differences start to matter a lot, and that's where having an independent (default search contracts aside) browser provider is a big deal. I don't see this as a competition for speed. To me it's more of an effort to get the performance issue out of the way so the real benefits can shine.
