... Chrome on iOS is using the native iOS render, IIRC. So wouldn't this test be testing the same thing?

  No, not exactly. Chrome is using the web view without JIT compiling for JavaScript that Safari can take advantage of. That being said, it's not something that's surprising. It's a known issue.

  No, apps using UIWebView don't get the "fast" JS engine, for security reasons. Only MobileSafari has that. EDIT: Gah, beaten by a few seconds by jasonlotito.

  From what I understand, Chrome (and any non-native app) doesn't have access to the JavaScript engine that Safari does. That's why the JavaScript benchmark results are so disparate between Safari and Chrome for iOS.
