Anyone here know much about the SunSpider benchmark? It's used in this article.
It's a WebKit benchmark, so if they are using that to drive their performance tuning then this might lead to a bias (if you use a benchmark as your milestones you're going to get good at that benchmark, even a complex one).
Not saying they have, just curious.
