Remember when Nokia N800 was launched, the browser from 2007 OS sucked, and then after OS 2008 4.2 there was a huge difference in speed and rendering. Same will eventually happen here with Maemo 5. After 5-7 months Nokia will release firmware upgrades and the whole OS with the browser should be improved. Because lets face it the browser on Nokia 900 isn't looking all that good right now.

MicroB/Fennec will be most likely quite fast on a Cortex A8. Also remember that the engine is now updated.

Does Fennec support webkits?
Safari is based on WebKit
Mozilla browsers are based on Gecko.
It's called a layout engine.

Do we know if Fennec will be the final name? Because it were some rumors that the final build will be renamed to "Firefox Mobile".
Another rumor is when Fennec hit final, Nokia will replace its own Mozilla based N900 browser with this.

cool comparison... and the more i think of it: yes. it does what ubuntu aims for: take the best technology available from the free software world and re-package it in a consumer-friendly way.
