InfoPackets reports that the Firefox 3.1 beta is getting faster at JavaScript and CSS rendering. It’s going to need it for upcoming competition from Google Chrome and Microsoft IE.
But the original article‘s test numbers aren’t quite promising. While Firefox 3.1 may be faster than previous Firefox versions, it’s still slower than the current Safari beta.
- HowToCreate.co.uk CSS rendering benchmark: Firefox 3.1 beta loads in 456 ms and renders in 38 ms. Safari 4 beta loads in an amazing 54 ms and renders in 7 ms.
- Sean Patrick Kane’s JavaScript test: 344 ms for Firefox and 174 for Safari.
- Acid3 standards compliance test: 93 for Firefox and 100 for Safari.
Sorry to say, but this is really pathetic performance. Here’s hoping the Firefox devs can bring their game up by release time.
