YES! 3.2.1 fixes Safari

Been using mine for awhile, no wifi connection error, better overall speed, and have seen no tab reloading as of yet.

AT&T wireless, facebook, macrumors, and my website open. No reloading as of yet, I'll check back.
 
How could expect a "fix"? All they can do is improve it. You're always going to run into sites that flush the other pages. I've even had reloads and crashes on my iPhone 4 already.

They did improve it a lot. I'm still able to load more than twice the amount of pages I was before.

I'd expect a fix because by jailbreaking the iPad there's a simple solution which solves the page refreshing and it does so flawlessly.

Opened up two pages (Engadget, Macrumors), hop out and go read the WSJ for about a minute, go back to Safari and it's reloading Macrumors. This was after a fresh restore. The problem has not-to any extent- been remedied.
 
Agreed, performance is improved - but that doesn't mean one can load pages indefinitely and expect them to be cached every time. Under normal usage - a handful of tabs at a time - it's much less annoying.

As is the keyboard, maybe? I often find that I hit the n or b key rather than the spacebar when typing fast in landscape keyboard mode, but this seems to be happening slightly less often?

Stop being annoying. The problem has most definitely been remedied, and to a large extent.

If you are expecting never having to reload a page, than no, that won't happen.

Non-jailbroken iOS doesn't utilize virtual memory and it isn't storing cached pages to flash. For a good reason: your flash memory life expectancy would be severely hurt by this.

But at least now Safari doesn't reload tabs just by switching from one to the other.

Indeed, I was just saying that thus far, performance has been better.

And the keyboard does seem to get along with my fingers better, keeping up at a much better WPM speed. :)

What is this jailbreak fix that you speak of?

For such a "modern" OS, iOS has horrible cache and memory management. Terrifyingly horrific.

Actually as a dev it is pretty awesome. Windows below Vista, is shockingly horrible memory management.

I'm still having much better page caching within Safari. If you switch our to another app you have to reload, but it is identical to what the iPhone 4 does (more or less).

You're not going to have to worry about write cycles on modern flash memory within the useful life of the product, virtual memory or not.
 
This is reminding me a lot of the back up faster problem when everyone said they were faster because they had just backed up the phone seconds before the update
 
Much, much, much better! This reloading was my only issue with the iPad.

Surfing with cnn, fox news and 2 macrumor pages going for quite a while and no reloads.

Fixed as far as I am concerned.
 
totaly fixed for me just opened 7 pages
macrumors
nyt
thinkgeek
facebook
maclife
engaget
schoolloop

not a single time it reloded while switching between tabs
 
You must all have magic iPads, because after a short while my iPad is behaving just like it always has. It might be just slightly better, but certainly not a dramatic improvement.

If I open up 3 or 4 sites, read an article in one of them, and then go back to the first, it will reload it almost every time.
