Wondering what it is about this test that Opera scores so much higher than other browsers?

Did this with IE 9 on the same pc and only got about 6600.

What does this benchmark test or prove?

Not much I'd say. I don't know it to be a true test of a browsers capabilities in everyday use. I think a good test would be if it displays web pages correctly. How fast it does so. How it does with javascript, etc. For now, it is the chance for us Opera users to say we are #1! Lol. A Guy

Its an Independent benchmark most of the other benchmarks originate with Chrome or Mozilla & its possible they design benchmarks to make their own browser look good compared to the competition.
Peacekeeper its a benchmarking tool for comparing browsers on your own PC & will only tell you what is fastest on your own computer.
Other people with different hardware configuration's may have different rankings to you.

From the Peacekeeper FAQ
What is Peacekeeper?

Peacekeeper is a free online browser benchmark tool. With Peacekeeper it’s quick and easy to compare different browsers to find out which one offers the best performance on your PC.
What's with the name?
What can I use it for?

Peacekeeper will show you which browser performs best on your PC. At the end of the test your browser receives a score indicating its overall performance. It’s simple to compare scores by running Peacekeeper again in a different browser. Changing browsers to one that's faster can mean that pages with dynamic content will be more responsive.
What does it test?

Peacekeeper measures your browser's performance by testing its JavaScript functionality. JavaScript is a widely used programming language used in the creation of modern websites to provide features such as animation, navigation, forms and other common requirements. By measuring a browser’s ability to handle commonly used JavaScript functions Peacekeeper can evaluate its performance.

Yes, but at this point commentary is limited as completely new revision of Peacekeeper is under development.

In other words, minor issues with existing Peacekeeper probably won't be addressed until the new revision is out.
