This seems to give a good balance between performance for the common case and color-correctness for cases where precise color is desired.

I wouldn't say precise color. Consistently bad maybe. This behavior is very irritating on high-gamut monitors. Images on the web are designed for sRGB-like monitors, and they look horrible (pink and oversaturated in my case) on monitors that have significantly different color space.

(this is system-wide problem in OS X, e.g. rendering of Dock icons is also bad and inconsistent, so perhaps it needs to be fixed outside Safari...)
