My javascript performance comparison between Firefox 3.6 and Chrome and Safari

You really should use a test that focuses both on pure JavaScript and also DOM/JavaScript interaction. The fact that Chrome processes JavaScript faster doesn't necessarily mean that Firefox is slower in a real application that interacts with the DOM (although it may be, I'm not sure).

Edit: See http://dromaeo.com/


Sunspider and V8 are standard javascript benchmarks. I have found that the test results compare favourably to real world usage. For example Google wave is sluggish on firefox while chrome has no problems with it.

It looks like it is not ready for wide usage.
