Post your Internet Browser Benchmark

Here's my scores comparing Opera 10.51 against the current Chrome release & the latest Chrome Beta release.
I'm using the portable version of Opera.

I have just installed & benchmarked the Wyzo browser which is based on Firefox my PC seems slower today Opera seems to have slowed down by about 10% while Chrome is about 50% slower.
After running the Peacekeeper test on Wyzo & closing the browser I noticed there was a process left open by Wyzo (FF3.5.6) & it was still consuming 103 MB. Wyzo has several extensions added by default which may be slowing it down ?

IMO peacekeeper is flawed. I was testing IE8 32bit vs 64 bit and noticed that my IE8 32 score had dropped from ~1050 to ~850. I scoured my PC of anything running to zero effect. A little while later I ran it again and it was back up to ~1050.

I did notice that during the lower score times, I was also having slow access to the peacekeeper page.

It definitely seems like a flaky benchmark. Sunspider might be more consistent.

But benchmarking browsers is a largely pointless activity. A browser being even 2 or 3 times faster doesn't actually result in a better browsing experience, because the bottleneck is not in rendering, it is in getting pages off the net.

That latest sunspider is good but it only measures a subset of Javascript performance.

Dromaeo is better because it tests the DOM and some CSS selectors along with Javascript but doesn't test HTML5.

Slickspeed is a comprehensive benchmark for CSS selector framework speed.

There's no real good test for HTML5 canvas besides Peacekeeper. Maybe c5bench but it says its only for smartphones.

You are right that network download time (even if we had Google gigabit fiber) is still the dominant bottleneck in web performance but it is still good to improve in other subsystems.

Then maybe use Peacekeeper just for the Canvas bench and note that it isn't even included in the final score since some browsers don't support it (IE).

And also note that Peacekeeper does have issues with ~20% margin of error.

is this good?

Your score seems kinda low, I used to have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (same as yours), and the scores were a bit higher O_O

i think mine was good for chrome :)
