Safari was able to pass all tests, and picked up three of the highest scores, one in Peacekeeper and two in SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark. Safari placed third overall, in Peacekeeper and the two JavaScript benchmarks.
Although it developed WebKit specifically for Safari, Apple tends to keep Safari at the same release level longer than other WebKit developers do with their browsers, which gives them time to move ahead in raw performance. The difference that makes is noticeable here, with Safari being slightly older than its competitors. It's likely that the next release of Safari will once again lead the pack, only to quickly fall behind again.
