Tried with this new performance testing site:

http://dromaeo.com

Let me tell ya that Fennec is far more faster from MicroB than 6x.

Here are my results:

Not a valid comparison, as those numbers are being significantly offset by the old snapshot that MicroB is currently using.

Just interested: What are the results for the chinook microb (as in: how much faster was the fennec on that test than microb?)

That was a problem - i didn't even had the nerve to wait for it to finish the first test. Then again maybe the first test behaves much worse on the early alpha.

I'll leave it running when i get to a charger.

Chinook MicroB

I'd like to see these numbers for the latest Diablo build, too.

Fennec is about 10 times faster then

EDIT: My fist test is also around 54000.
EDIT: I was looking only at the first test. Overall it seems under 6x.

I'm running it too now... I needed first to tweak the javascript warning window to not show up too quickly (add this to prefs.js):

Code:

user_pref("dom.max_script_run_time", 10000);

Don't forget to remove it after that though.

My Chinook MicroB results:

Microb took in these results 298647 and fennec took 61814. Interesting. Of course, this is really just a javascript benchmark, but interesting nevertheless.

Javascript is used very intensively in Web 2.0 sites, so faster javascript means faster browser these days.

Amen, brother!

I know we always said "If you build it, they will come"* but I'm not sure how many people believed that building this platform would bring the big development projects like Mozilla this way by now. (Or rather that they would put the NIT square in their viewer when thinking "mobile platform.")

Faster surfing. Better Flash. More stable surfing. That's so far. Now we see this coming: Even faster surfing. Better Web 2.0. XUL for add-ons. Use any Firefox add-on without modification.

Things just keep looking up, don't they!
