Testing Cufon

I've been using -mostly- sIFR for type replacement on the web until now, I love it's clean rendering, but I've never been very happy with it's performance in terms of speed. I've tested a lot of alternatives, but never found one that really seemed a good alternative. I like typekit, but in honesty, the typefaces being offered at the moment are (mostly) hardly attractive.

Now I'm testing Cufon, which I recall testing before, but I'm not sure what I didn't like then. I am really impressed by it's flxibility, speed and rendering. Well, most of the rendering, there's details like that E in THE, not sure what's going on the top of the arm there, it's a bit blurry, but all in all it's really nice. It's much faster than sIFR, so I'm pretty sure this is gonna be my choice of type replacement for the going time - at least until Typekit has a qualitative stack of fonts to choose from, or WOFF is widely supported.
