Javascript Performance in modern browsers *DOM results added

I use google chrome almost exclusively when doing the web, but I see many people using a wide variety of web browsers these days.

So I wanted to see how fast they are in the immensely popular javascript:

js6

<–relative speed. (higher is better)—>

OS: windows 7 64-bit b7048
RAM: 4GB DDR2-800
CPU: intel 2-core 3Ghz Penryn w/6MB cache
HDD: Samsung F1 7200rpm
Chipset: intel G45

v8 is http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v3/run.html

sunspider is http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html

dromaeo JS is http://dromaeo.com/?dromaeo

dromaeo DOM is http://dromaeo.com/?dom|jslib|cssquery

(ie and safari 3 were not able to complete the dromaeo DOM test suite w/default settings)

note:

the 64-bit firefox I tested is not official; http://www.mozilla-x86-64.com/

google chrome 2.0.269.0 is a dev/beta build.

opera, IE, chrome, firefox, k-meleon, safari are all 32-bit unless otherwise noted.

    How much does java script performance affect page load times?
    If you can load java script twice as fast but only a portion of the page uses JS then are you saving 10 seconds or 0.5 seconds?

    I suggest another test using a website that requires a long time to load (relatively, something like 20 seconds) and keeping track of load times (deleting cache/cookies etc)

    I mostly browse on firefox but tend to load chrome when I want to check something quickly and not wait for my 30 tabs to open up. And of course, my universitie’s website only opens properly in IE. meh.
