This issue is so misunderstood, mostly because it's so easy to market, measure, explain and graph relative performance of javascript engines, but as James says, they form relatively little part of the over-all performance of browsers.
- qu4z-2 14y agoSomehow I find that despite all the pretty graphs showing how fast Chrome/Firefox are surf (by suckless) which is an ~1k lines of code wrapper for webkit consistently manages to feel faster. EDIT: Much as Chrome used to feel very fast on release, and has been getting gradually slower as far as I can tell. I remember when it used to have finished rendering a page almost before I hit enter.
