Quicker web page rendering due to processor?

[hal1]

Do web pages load quicker due to the processor, or is the network the limiting factor? In other words, should this provide a faster web browsing experience than my Thunderbolt? - comparing 3G to 3G and 4G to 4G

There are so many factors to weigh and I doubt I'm going to hit them all but here goes.

1) Network speed
2) Processor capability
3) Browser threading ability
4) GPU capability
5) Website availability
6) Routing
7) DNS

Ok I'm not actually done but really this is where you step into the luck of the draw type of things.

Then i guess in my question the only difference is number 2

Cpu makes a huge difference, to a point. Up to this point in smartphones, each generation of processor has made a fairly noticeable difference. Going forward, I don't think we will see such drastic improvement as my phone surfs pretty much as fast as my 6 month old laptop. The next thing that is going to help is the death of flash.

Lets face facts, the only reason Android boys want Flash to work, is because Steve Jobs said it sucked 3 years ago.
