I don't know if Dolphin Mini or Miren are faster than the stock browser, but they're not any slower as far as I can tell. The main appeal, for me, is that they add features without sacrificing the agility of the stock browser. Much, MUCH easier tab management (which is almost non-existent in the stock browser), a speed dial feature for easier access to common websites without wasting homescreen real estate, better data management, private browsing mode (in the case of Dolphin Mini), and a whole bunch of other features - all while remaining lightweight and fast.
Don't get me wrong, I think the stock browser is great and I would always return to it after trying out different browsers... which is why it's a big deal for me to recommend Dolphin Mini or Miren. They're literally the only two alternative browsers I've ever considered using full time. I just haven't settled yet on which one it will be.
