Firefox 3 creams rivals
Three times faster than IE7
By Nick Farrell: Thursday, 13 March 2008, 7:39 AM
PERFORMANCE specs for the latest beta of the OpenSauce Firefox 3.0
suggest that the browser is shedloads faster than anything out there.
Benchmarketing carried out by Percy Cabello, who posted his results on
the Mozilla Links blog, show that that Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 is 53 per cent
faster than Opera 9.5 beta, twice as fast as Safari and three times
faster than IE7.
The tests use the SunSpider benchmark, which looks at JavaScript
performance.
A big cheese at the Mozzarella Foundation was quick to say it was all
down to superior engineering. However he did admit that benchmarking was
a bit of a mirage because browsers are not alike when rendering basic
Web pages.
Still it does make Microsoft's IE7 look like a bloated asthmatic slug
towing a caravan full of elephants in comparison.
