Spider monkey being under 24k while v8 and JavaScript Core kiss 60k is alarming. Why are we so far behind?

  Basically lack of human resources to make it great, note that Firefox is already around 3% market share, and Mozilla keeps having other priorities.

  No wonder my Firefox feels sluggish compared to Chrome on M3. Sigh.

  Mozilla has their priorities ass backwards and does anything except what prople actually want: developing Firefox.

    +1 on this... the spend outside of development is kind of fascinating as a while IMO. That they let Thunderbird languish for so long, they pretty much nuked XULRunner, and a bunch of pretty cool tech along the way.

  Firefox is optimized against speedometer and similar "real world" benchmarks. This is a list of highly artificial benchmarks. Mozilla could attempt to optimize it for these benchmarks, but it wouldn't do much to make the web browsing experience better.
