And Kraken gives Firefox an edge while IE 10 leads Robohornet.
Frankly, it's all about what the benchmark tests and in what way. All browser vendors optimise along some benchmark and that's what they are good at.
The bottom line is that pretty much all of them are fast enough to do most of the things you're doing with them.
- opinali 14y agoSeriously people should stop using SunSpider; it's way too old and simple (2007 design which means Jurassic, although it had a minor update in 2010). It's considered a microbenchmark suite by today's standards, doesn't mirror modern Javascript usage in any way: code style, size, features (eg typed arrays), libraries. Both Mozilla's Kraken and Google's Octane are much better.
- ygra 14y agoWell, SunSpider is nowadays kinda a test how fast a browser can run through a loop. I'd still wager Robohornet is a little better (and it also considers things like scrolling and rendering speed and DOM manipulation for certain scenarios – plenty of things that probably contribute more to how fast a browser feels than raw JS performance).
