Geoff,
I have downloaded and tested the CFMessage version and I would also like to say that it "feels" much better. Switching between various tabs while they are loading is now possible for me (with the last nightlies that I have tested, this was almost impossible).
In general, I have the impression that the user has a lot more control over the browser while it is busy which makes it "feel" a lot snappier. I will keep testing this tonight and see if I find anything I don't like about it. You won't get any real benchmarks from me right now, just my subjective impressions...
Until now, this looks promising.

Hi All,
In the past we've speculated that the way Camino handles gecko events may be
responsible for some of the various performance issues people report with
Camino. This includes but is not limited to CPU usage during flash playback.
I've got a patch up: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271050
which drastically changes how gecko events are dispatched. Because this code
is invoked so frequently and the change is so dramatic, I need a lot of
testing before this will sound like a good idea :-).
It would help out a lot if as many folks as possible could either build and
test or download the disk image here:
http://www.speakeasy.org/~gbeier/Camino-perftest.dmg.bz2
and browse with the two builds included there. The one in the "Old event
handling" folder should be very similar to tonight's nightly. The only
difference between that one and the one in the "New event handling" folder
is the above patch; this should make it easily to isolate performance
differences introduced by this change.
Anyone who gets to kick it around, please report results back either to this
list or on the bug itself.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Geoff
