Bear in mind that the more you implement of the HTML5/CSS specs the slower things get. But the feeling of the team (many of whom have experience on Gecko or Webkit) is that even with that taken into account the performance and power consumption improvements will still be significant. They have gained a great deal from all the experience with last generation of layout engines.
