Latest Webkit Nightly Build (r31307) now gets 96/100

They’ve also just introduced an optimization for pageloading that is very sweet on script heavy pages.
http://webkit.org/blog/166/optimizing-page-loading-in-web-browser/

“The latest WebKit nightlies contain some new optimizations to reduce the impact of network latency. When script loading halts the main parser, we start up a side parser that goes through the rest of the HTML source to find more resources to load. We also prioritize resources so that scripts and stylesheets load before images. The overall effect is that we are now able to load more resources in parallel with scripts, including other scripts.”

Safari 3.1 passes the Acid2 test only on initial load; it fails on a reload of the page.
