Probably not. FWIW, I just found the cause of my problem (sort of): for some reason, Safari can't get updates from Google for it's "Warn when visiting a fraudulent site" feature, and it causes indefinite high CPU usage when it tries and fails. I had a notice under the option saying "The Google safe browsing service is unavailable. No updates have occurred in 64 days." Turning off the option fixes the problem.

I still have no idea WHY it can't connect to Google's safe browsing service, but I know I'm not alone. I just stumbled upon the solution while browsing Apple's discussion boards and saw some other people with the same issue.

It's nice to have it fixed. I use Camino these days, but every now and then I do want to use a WebKit-based browser.
