I watched the Google IO talk on Chrome Frame last week and it is pretty impressive. I wouldn't hesitate to using it. Not only do you get better browser support, but you also get a huge JavaScript speed improvement. They said in talk that Yahoo is using it as the default render-er for their homepage and I think Google uses it for Gmail too.
