What you are likely noticing is a difference in the speed in which the browsers can render the page after downloading all the content.

Also, Safari probably starts rendering while still downloading. I know iCab tends to wait to render a page until everything has downloaded (this is an issue that prevents me from using iCab to check some server logs, as iCab will simply not render the log file to the screen because the server never actually closes the connection because it is an active feed of the log... so iCab sits there waiting and waiting for what it thinks is more data to be downloaded, and never puts up what it has already downloaded).
