Okay, let the riots begin. Just wanted to post this for information purposes ...

lol, I thought that Chrome was the only browser to ft. the new super fast Javascript V4/V.. engine? Looks like IE trounced it.

erm, the chart shows that ie didn't trounce anything - quite the reverse.

 

[madtownidiot]

Charts or no.. I'd rather have a browser that is mid range fast but is secure and almost never freezes than one which is much faster when it isn't crashing constantly and reports everything I do to Google and their advertising partners

IE9b seems to be slower than FF4

Then I mis-read, I naturally assume the bigger number the better

I use firefox.. and there aren't any reports of constant crashing problems with 3.6.12 that I could find

oh

IE9b seems to be slower than FF4

You seem surprised ?

With all that advertizing MS did to claim IE9 was the 'fastest of all browsers' it is still slower

Don't forget that IE9 is still in the Beta phase of its development and, as such, will not be fully optimised. A truer result will be obtained with the final release.

 

[madtownidiot]

IE9 should be great if MS doesn't add a bunch of "accelerators"... which do just the opposite.

 

[Lemur]

You can turn on and off the accelerator (about:config). Be interesting to benchmark. Any volunteers?

At least if Chrome crashes it only crashes the tab not the entire app and that is infrequent even on the beta.

I'll run it on my z800 when the final release is out.

Charts can say anything they want.....real world use is a different story, and closer to reality. Just sayin....

 

[madtownidiot]

FF is actually kind of fun to use the when the system you're on has more physical memory than the average laptop HDD did about 4 years ago

That's about the size of it.

 

[blackzero]

Charts should give you rough estimate. Not perfect or accurate but it's based on some tests not just a paradox or prophecy. Actually I'm FF fanboy and hope Firefox can still be faster than the current one, also more memory friendly. A hope is a hope, though.
