The pie charts are really really irritating. From the original article (which also mentions Sunspider benchmark.. i always thought it may be strange to use the V8 benchmark as hard evidence, as it comes from Google/Chrome): The SunSpider test took just 345.6 ms on our quad-core test system, compared to 387.8 ms of Chrome 5.0.342.8. Chrome 4.x scored 483.3 ms on this system. Now keep in mind that Chrome 5 is still in beta, but it is already 30% faster than Chrome 4, which remains the fastest (stable) JavaScript browser currently available. In comparison, the current Firefox 3.6.4 scored 876 ms, Safari 4.04 530 ms, IE8 4979ms and the IE9 Platform Preview 783.6 ms. In that view, Chrome 5 is more than twice as fast as IE9 PP. It's good to see such big improvements in IE9.. now we only need to get rid of IE6-8 :(
