If it is purely for speed, then there is no need for a new browser. Simply disabling JS makes websites crazy fast. I run a documentation site for my framework. It is already pretty lean, but disabling JS makes it super fast, even though my server is cheap. Unfortunately, most modern websites display a blank page without JS, so what we really need is a change in developer attitude, not a new browser (again, assuming that you are only concerned about speed).
