Browser performance comparison (2009)

Keep in mind that this is from Oct 2009.

Yeah. A lot has changed since then. Opera 10.5 has a new JavaScript engine said to be as fast as V8, plus other performance improvements.

outdated benchmark. Opera javascript is substantially faster now

How is it possible that Chrome is quicker than Firefox in every respect except for page load time? Isn't page load time just a cumulative result of all the other categories?

I guess the page load is tested by loading a blank page and therefore just testing the networking stuff and not the rendering, javascript, etc.

It's a test of loading yahoo.com, not a blank page.

'comaprison' is a funny word. I think you meant to type 'comparison' in the title though.

:) yeah. Thanks editors for changing it

note: all tests run on windows. should include a test on mac os x.

And Linux, the hacker's OS.

With the exception of narrowly beating out Safari on cache speed, IE is last in every category. Heh.

I just retested Firefox v. Chromium on Sunspider and Chromium is still more than 2x faster. Really disappointing. Mozilla really needs to step it up on the performance if they want to keep Firefox relevant.
