I'm using Dolphin HD and really like it. It didn't work well for me until I did the stage 1 speed fix though. If you don't want to do that Opera mini is nice, and fast.
I have tried Skyfire, and Dolphin. Seems to be that both are slower than stock. Dolphin has a really nice interface...albeit with a learning curve. But I'm about to ditch it because it seems so slow.
I'm all about alternative/better browsers. I tried Dolphin, tried to like it... but it was quirky, slow, and gave me some issues. I'll leave it installed and keep checking it periodically as it gets updates, but 99% of the time I use the stock browser (even though it's not perfect either... the fact that when you use the [Back] button it doesn't return you to the scroll position you were on bugs me, as well as the fact that it doesn't always jump down to the #anchor point in a link).
I don't really use the browser much on the phone (most of my internet activities are done via app front ends), but the "stock" browser works well. I tried Dolphin and it didn't seem much better (though I barely used it), I thought the tabs were kind of clunky. I just downloaded Opera and I like what I see so far. Figured for free, D/L, try it, decide keep/uninstall
I'm not positive if I am thinking of the same hack, but what I looked at won't work for me because I have too many apps installed. I'm just going to have to wait for a better ROM.

Yes, the NAND speed trick is limited to 130mb of app database space.
However, you can just move over certain apps you use the most or that lag on stock database storage. I have over 200mb of app data, so I had to do the following (either in a terminal app or adb shell, must be rooted and have busybox installed):
Code:
mkdir /dbdata/data
cd /data/data
for i in mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /dbdata/data/ ; busybox ln -s /dbdata/data/$i $i ; done
If you want to revert this:
Code:
cd /dbdata/data
for i in mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser ; do echo $i ; busybox mv $i /data/data/; done
mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser is for Dolphin HD browser ONLY, if you want to add a different app, you have to replace the app filename location (not sure if thats the term)
I suggest you adding the core google services and apps also. It will GREATLY speed up the main stuff, but only take a little room on the NAND.
I suggest you move over Dolphin, Facebook, Twitter, Touchdown and the core google services (com.android.* and com.sec.android.*). You will instantly see the difference without sacrificing the main app storage space.
