This is really subjective, but I see the behavior John does.   The entirety of 
Safari will bog down commonly where a single tab would crash under Chrome, it's 
rare to see the entirety of Chrome have a problem.  It is definitely related to 
poorly performing sites such as FB, YouTube, flash, and the number of 
windows/tabs.  Again, that's in my experience, but it makes sense given the 
difference in underlying architectures.  Chrome tabs are better protected from 
each other.  I do prefer the Safari UI though and tend to put up with it more.
