Even faster than 30Mbit? Then this higher render speed is completely lost on the average internet user. Standard DSL's don't exceed 20Mbit.

But that is just it, I am on a fast network. I don't see any difference.

Facebook, than I will use that as a benchmark.

I haven't really noticed a speed increase from Firefox, but the only reason I continue to use Chrome is because of the new tab screen. For anyone who hasn't used Chrome, if you open a new tab, instead of taking you to a blank screen like Firefox does, it takes you to a screen with 8 links to your most visited sites and 4 links to the last 4 tabs closed.
That is a nice feature indeed.
So far I've been using chrome all evening and if there is an improvement in speed, I don't see it. I will continue to use Chrome to give it a full test.
