Comparing browsers - The Lombardi benchmark

Par dgirard le Wednesday 22 October 2008 09:42 - Default

Alex Moffat published an article where he compares the performance of Javascript engines : Chrome, Firefox, WebKit and IE.

Results are very surprising...

The title "Relative Browser performance" and<br/>lack of any other labelling suggests that IE7 is the most performant engine.<br/>Actually the reverse is true.<br /><br/>I know you only have to read the article to get the proper view but often<br/>people don't do that.</p>

3.Friday 24 October 2008 12:00 par frank: <p>Sorry to be picky (great job conducting the study BTW) but the label<br/>"Performance as a percentage of IE7 " doesn't nail it for me either - so Chrome<br/>has only 12% of the performance of IE7?</p><br/><p>The trouble is the word "Performance" has positive connotations. Maybe if<br/>you changed it to "load time" or "render time" people would appreciate Chrome<br/>took "less time" rather than had "less performance".</p>
