how can I disable hardware acceleration in Safari 5.1 ?

for performance testing purposes, I need to do so. Specifically, to disable 2D Canvas hardware acceleration.


I can't figure out how. Is there any way? I am on Mac. I would like to know about how to do so both on Mac and Windows.

Safari 5.1-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
