I have tried the sunspider 0.9.1 JS benchmark and it tells a slightly different story, though not as comprehensive as the Peacekeeper test. IE9 renders JS fastest on my system, followed by FF4. Chrome is slowest.
IE9 - 199.9ms
FF4 - 224.6ms
Opera - 235.1ms
Chrome - 262.0ms
Attachment shows IE9 and FF4
There's something about the Peacekeeper test that does an injustice to IE9; though it's my least favourite browser, it is quick in a way Opera is quick yet it generally rates lower than Chrome and FF4. And my measurements for FF4 recently confirm that in my system, at least, Firefox has become a lot slower (1/3 of the speed of 3.62 per the Peacekeeper test!) - intuition tells me there is something not quite right about that particular benchmark.
These are my results.
I'm using default settings Opera 11.50 alpha build 1009 downloaded as the portable option.
They are still not including the Complex graphics scores even though all major browsers support them else Opera would have won by a wider margin maybe topping 17,000
For the stable version Opera 11.10 download it at Opera web browser | Faster & safer | Download the latest Internet browser free
For the latest snapshot on the Next channel get it at Opera web browser | Opera 11.50 alpha
Both versions have the option to install as a portable version built into the installer.
When you download the Installer click on options & on the second screen change the install path anywhere outside program files make sure you make a new folder to install into.
When you have changed the install path the install for option becomes available change to stand alone installation USB for the portable.
no entries get changed in the registry, If you want to uninstall it simply delete the folder.
