Whats this obsession with speed of browsers these days? With fast computers and fast connections, its a bit of a non issue.
E9 Preview 4 vs. Firefox 4.0 Beta, Chrome 6.0 Dev, Opera 10.6, Safari

I, for one, don't really have a problem with "speed".
I think for the most part, some people weigh "browser speed benchmarks" too heavily. I mean, so Chrome beats the next one by 50ms or 100ms........so what. Like anyone would be able to notice anyway. Benchmarks are about as reliable as the Graphics benchmarks that everyone used to go by. It was non real-world use. Pretty pointless IMO.

I'm with you on that. I'm ready to blame my ISP before my browser - though I don't really have any complaints with either at the moment.Whats this obsession with speed of browsers these days? With fast computers and fast connections, its a bit of a non issue.

For most of us, it is a non issue. However, IE7 and earlier (apparently IE8 as well) were notorious for being several seconds slower than other browsers, on the same ISP connection. I for one have noticed definite speed differences between Firefox and IE7/IE8.
And I think only the most obsessive users are going to switch their preferred browser due to a 50-100 ms difference. I know I would have to see a difference of at least 2-3 seconds in order to switch browsers.

True in regard to the infections. Generally, the issue is a PEBKAC!

Some times yes and sometimes no. Unfortunately, many of the tests were biased towards one browser or another - and typically against anything Microsoft. Reviews of IE8 vs whatever are no different. I am not saying IE8 is the fastest or even as fast as all the others, but it is not as slow in "real world use" as many would have us believe.However, IE7 and earlier (apparently IE8 as well) were notorious for being several seconds slower than other browsers, on the same ISP connection.
