MySQL 5.4 is a preview/test release, first one under Oracle. As a test release is not intend to be used on a production stations.
They say that the most important change in 5.4 was to introduce MySQL Optimizer which makes some of the queries run 90% faster.
Oracle wants to release MySQL more often and be more open for community ideas and use more community code.
5.4 is officially a preview release, so not officially recommended for production yet. However, I do know of quite a few larger websites that are using it in production thanks to the terrific gains in performance.
