Yes, the latest versions of Webkit are significantly faster than the
system-wide webkit. Even the latest builds of Webkit, however, are
nowhere near as fast as Opera when working with Voiceover. They really
don't even come close. Of course, speed gets you nowhere if you can't
fill out most forms, but hopefully this is fixed soon.
I actually don't have any issues with SA mobile email or forums with
the latest Webkits. Several builds back there were some bugs with it,
but these seem to have been squashed at least as far as I can tell.

still are a couple major bugs with webkit though, one relates to
using the s a mobile network from serotek. If you use the email
feature, voice over is unable to read the email message, the other
major bug relates to voice over just saying button or link sometimes
when there may actually be a label there. I usually use webkit
instead of the actual safari browser though, unless I find a page
that is doing something strange. The other feature that will
hopefully be added at some point is to have on click or mouse over
elements announced. If you think something is clickable, you can
select it and it will work, but having that announced would be good.
This will probably require an update to voice over as well.
