I recently update to 10.5.7, then update to stable Safari 4 ,and then start testing voodoo2 alpha3 kernel.
So now, sometimes, which i can't find the recurrence, Safari hangs, for no reason, just hangs, i had to hit "Force Quit" on the dock icon and then relaunch it. I tried cleaning the cache, resetting safari, and nothing happens, just the situation keep goigns, after sometimes, or some pages, or i don't know when happens, safari hangs again.
So let us know about your Safari 4 experience.
I even installed Safari 4.0.1 update that pop up some days ago. Still hanging.

@oneshott also crashes whenever I click on "Show Top Sites". Weird?
I believe this is a known issue.

On my Hack - Safari crashes as well. Especially with many tabs opened, and almost for sure with pages loaded with flash content. It doesnt happen on real Mac though...Maybe there's something with the kernel ( tried voodoo 1.0 and Andy's 9.6 ) - have no idea. It didn't happen on Safari 3 though, but on the beta of 4.0 - the problem showed up, and is still there.
I've had this problem for a while as well. It also crashes whenever I click on "Show Top Sites". Weird?
