Seriously 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.

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).
