Malisk Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Interested in how browser JS engines now compare on various tests, I ran some. :) Mozilla's Kraken Benchmark (lower is better) 1. Firefox 4.0 Beta 7: 6893.2ms +/- 0.3% 2. Opera 11 Alpha: 11913.5ms +/- 0.9% 3. Chrome 9 dev: 14956.2ms +/- 0.6% Google's V8 Benchmark (higher is better) 1. Chrome 9 dev: 5447 2. Opera 11 Alpha: 3690 3. Firefox 4.0 Beta 7: 2843 Firefox is doing best on Mozilla's benchmark, Chrome best on Google's, and Opera neatly placing itself in the middle on both. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Zero_Alchemist Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Very impressive but beta 7 crash every times I try to enter this page, http://game.amd.com/...s_catalyst.aspx No problems here, the page loads fine for me (using no extensions at the moment)... is your plugins like flash,java etc... and others are up to date? if not update it and try entering the page again.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2010 Well all the benchmarks favour the engine they're designed for (if I remember correctly, the V8 benchmark is heavy on recursion because V8 accels on that) And then there's SunSpider, Firefox is currently the fastest on that (every browser has the claim of being the fastest on that one benchmark at least once) But, all these benchmarks are artificial, a much better gauge of performance is on real-world stuff.

Yes, I agree. That was kind of my point, that they're doing best in their respective benchmarks. I didn't count Sunspider since Mozilla has said it sucks (hence the development of Kraken), and Mozilla made that benchmark. They just optimize for that now out of prestige, since it looks bad to not be best in their own benchmark. It's just too unfortunate that real-world stuff is so hard to measure. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2010 SunSpider is done by the WebKit guys (i.e. Apple) Edit: Yeah, it's hard to gauge real-world tasks, the best you can do is insert timers throughout the code (and measure CPU/Memory, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentthief Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 beta 8 bugs list has reduced from 86 to 69 now in under a day, i still reckon it will be december before we get beta 8 though as more bugs will be found https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2.0:beta8+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemesisNG Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Using Fast Dial extension with Beta 7 is not displaying the thumbnails at all, just showing as broken images. Tried another extension, Desktop, which does the same visual thumbnails and this is also not working. Something with Beta 7 seems to be causing issues, as all fine with Beta 6 and below.

Kirkburn Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 If you're having problems with extensions ... it's almost certainly a problem with the extension. From beta to beta things will change in Firefox which will affect them - so just keep an eye out for updates from the extension developers.

I am glad Mozilla is taking their time! i prefer that it is stable and most of the bugs worked out too but at this rate it will be mid 2011 before we see final and by than it will be behind when it comes to other browsers such as ie 9 and chrome x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
