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.
