Specifically, I use a lot of Jquery when coding web applications used internally. But because I use Google Chrome at work—on my Ubuntu laptop I use Chromium—I tend to take some things for granted. Today I ran across the Benchmark Suite that Google uses internally for making sure that Chrome’s JavaScript engine is super-fast.

So, I tried it out on my laptop under Firefox and was pretty impressed to see the following scores, since the benchmark said that 100 was a reference score and that bigger is better.

Score: 186

Richards: 137

DeltaBlue: 208

Crypto: 161

RayTrace: 132

EarleyBoyer: 220

RegExp: 150

Splay: 391

Of course then I ran it in Chromium on the exact same laptop, under equal load and got the following. Then I was truly impressed and started to wonder why Firefox’s score was so terrible.

Score: 2739

Richards: 3140

DeltaBlue: 3069

Crypto: 2285

RayTrace: 2810

EarleyBoyer: 3959

RegExp: 914

Splay: 5171

I’m not sure I even want to know how Internet Explorer does.
