This update is the best news since Lion was released. I did a clean install (due to numerous issues caused by the permissions bug) and my 2008 MBP is running 20% faster. I downloaded the full installer from the Mac App Store. Took a little more time, but well worth it - my Core 2 Duo is like a whole new machine now!
Safari works like it used to - i.e., fast! No more spinning pizza of death. The whole interface is snappy and quick. Kudos to Apple for cleaning up the turgid mess that was Lion - now its a sleek cat.
Initially, my install of these two updates resulted in poor performance. Then Safari started locking up. Turns out there was a kernel task running one core on my 2010 i7 MPB at 100%. This task could not be killed in Activity Monitor. Force quit Safari and did a shutdown. Computer would not shut down - probably due to the runaway kernel task. Held down power button to force power off. Upon reboot Safari is behaving as you described - definitely faster than before. Not sure about the rest of the OS yet.
