			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.infopackets.com/">InfoPackets</a> <a href="http://www.infopackets.com/news/internet/2009/20090305_firefox_beta_touts_advanced_engine_solves_8_flaws.htm">reports</a> that the Firefox 3.1 beta is getting faster at JavaScript and CSS rendering. It&#8217;s going to need it for upcoming competition from Google Chrome and Microsoft IE.</p>
<p>But the <a href="http://www.betanews.com/article/Firefox-31-could-catch-up-to-Safari-4-in-beta-speed-duel/1236203202">original article</a>&#8216;s test numbers aren&#8217;t quite promising. While Firefox 3.1 may be faster than previous Firefox versions, it&#8217;s still slower than the current Safari beta.</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong><a href="http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/csstest.html" target="_blank">HowToCreate.co.uk CSS rendering benchmark</a></strong>: 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.</li>
<li><a href="http://celtickane.com/webdesign/jsspeed2007.php"><strong>Sean Patrick Kane&#8217;s JavaScript test</strong></a>: 344 ms for Firefox and 174 for Safari.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://acid3.acidtests.org/" target="_blank">Acid3 standards compliance test</a></strong>: 93 for Firefox and 100 for Safari.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sorry to say, but this is really pathetic performance. Here&#8217;s hoping the Firefox devs can bring their game up by release time.</p>
