In a column on Watch Impress, via IGN, Japanese tech writer Munechika Nishida has claimed that web browsing on PlayStation 3 is actually faster than doing so using Internet Explorer 7.
From the IGN piece:
For a sense of how computationally intensive some areas of Flash 9 can be, you need only consider this little bit. According to Takase, the PS3 implementation of Flash-based playback for H.264 videos makes use of an SPU. This allows for loading up of web pages to be separate from video playback, improving framerate.
The entire web experience on the PS3 has been improved with the new firmware update. Noda cited a 2.8 times increase in Javascript speed according to Sony’s own benchmarks. Takase believes PS3’s Javascript performance, while not up to the level of Google Chrome, beats Internet Explorer 7.

Japanese connections are much faster, so this may be true. For some reason, my PS3 wireless connections is slow as balls. Downloading stuff takes so much time and this was very apparent in the recent Sony betas I've participated in.

What? I was briefly PC-less after a massive failure and had to use my PS3 as a web-browser. Loading IGN or ESPN caused the browser to freeze 50% of the time. And forget about opening multiple windows. It may run better on 256 MB of RAM than IE7, but it's still shit.

The web browser is really shitty, but I did use it when I was having problems with my main PC and didn't have my laptop here. Other options were my ipod touch and wii.
