Javascript Tests run on lenovo T61p laptop running fully updated f14. Summary: --------- Firefox 4 seems to have a small edge over chrome in javascript speed.
Comments: ---------- This is the first version of firefox I have tested that is not dead slow - it now runs similar (javascript) speeds to other browsers (safari, chrome etc). Earlier versions of firefox had huge memory leaks & consumption - I have not yet tested to see if this has improved with firefox 4.0. I still prefer chrome, but firefox is no longer too slow to use. Its still ugly as sin on linux and the UI, while improved some, still hails from the 1990's early 2000's era - unlike chrome/safari etc which are sleek clean and modern. ** N.B. ** The kraken test behaved very strangely on firefox -the screen did not update for much of the time like it did on chrome - so the test appears to be not running properly - I would discount this test as broken on firefox for now. Some may suggest foul play on this test - i cannot comment - only it appears to not run correctly so I would ignore this result as bogus until it runs properly. Tests are noisy - assume +- 10% error as an rough guide. For these tests I used : (i) google-chrome 11.0.686.3 (ii) firefox 4.0b13 64 bit (direct download from mozilla.org) Test Results: ------------- > FF-4 Chrome > ----------- ------ > > > acid3 97/100 100/100 > > Sunspider 319 373 > > V8 3616 3894 > > Dromaeo 402 508 > > Arrays 1351 1349 > Code Eval 711 499 > Rotating 3D Cube 457 533 > Base 64 enc/dec 825 798 > Reg Expr 162 250 > Strings 1202 1253 > > Kraken 6125** 15193 (test broken on ff) On 03/04/2011 12:10 PM, Remi Collet wrote: > > http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/firefox4/ Be warned the above repo will replace your stock sqlite install - I would advice against using these). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
