Been using the nightly builds of Safari for about a week and they have dramatically increased the performance on the rMBP. Give it a try....

I have set it as my default browser now and update it everyday. Not had any problems and all your bookmarks etc work fine.

Easy to uninstall if its not for you.

Im using nightly firefox as my daily browser - if you like chrome, you'll need chrome canary too

Used to always use WebKit as they fixed problems very quickly.

Will start using again as they're always MUCH faster.

Works just as well on my 2011 MBP. Facebook scrolling has always been really laggy, this has helped hugely

Todays update seems to have entirely eliminated any problems in TheVerge/Facebook/Polygon

Big update today gives another big jump in performance for me. Just about everything is buttery smooth on Safari now on my rMBP
