I think Opera is fastest overall

I've been using mainly Opera 9 for a while now after hating IE7 but disliking Firefox's high RAM usage, Overall I think Opera provides the fastest web browsing experience.

My rationale for placing Opera on top is simply:
IE is fast but unstable and its interface is just hopeless, Firefox is a tad slow and uses A LOT of RAM, wheras Opera is extremely fast, uses up very little RAM and has a nice, clean, user interface.
