How do you run the test from the Dromaeo website to output results in ms and not runs/s. Your picture shows it was run to output results in ms.

JohnResig: Neat idea. Unfortunately without any information about the platform the tests were run on, and which runs were done on the same platform but within different browsers, it’s gonna be near impossible to extract any sensible information out of this. :\

It could be a good idea to add field to generate or enter a “platform UID” so that people can bind their various runs to a single “platform UID”

IE7 Was no so bad at first, but at the string tests (base64) the browser botherd me with alert dialogs about response times, so I have to skip that test.

A question to mr. crockford if he read this. I have seen month ago a video series with you (at yahoo iirc) about javascript in generell and I think to remeber a part about types in javascript and that there is just number and so it does not make sence to use bit operators for example to to shift a number to devide it by 2 or so. I’m not sure anymore. Some of these tests using bitoperators … so I wonder if that is a good idea.

@JohnResig: Will there be a global result page, where we can compare browser/OS/device and so forth? I’m interested in how fast mobile devices all over the globe are these days.

For example I have an archos 605 (Opera mobile) and an S60 cell phone. I would like to share the results somehow.

Safari 3.1 and Firefox 3 b5 are smoking fast on these (15s vs. 20s).

Opera 9.27 and Camino, not so much (both about 53s).

If you guys are posting results you should link to the result pages. Every time you run a test it gives you a URL, usually something like:
http://dromaeo.com/?id=232

You can then compare the results together, like so:
http://dromaeo.com/?id=222,223,219
http://dromaeo.com/?id=232,226,229,237

I upgraded to beta 5 and ran beta 4 again for good measure. I got 4224 the second time with beta 4. In beta 5 I got 3625ms and 3550ms on two passes. Good work! Firefox is at the top of the mountain again!

My results:
System: P4/2.8HT
OS: Windows XP SP2
RAM: more than enough

Times:
Safari 3.1/Win: 3948.8ms
Firefox 3 beta 4: 4089ms
Opera 9.27: 7177.2ms
Firefox 2: ~21,000ms (ouch!)
IE6: CRASH
IE7(via VMware): Became unresponsive

Aren’t there 1000ms in a second? Seems a decimal has been misplaced.

Nice dinosaurs, reminds me of shrinky-dinks. I also really like the way he did the header. If you adjust your browser just so, the yellow T-Rex will ride the Stegasaurus.

Quite interesting results for me:

FF3 2008041107 – 2484.60ms
Safari 3.1 – 2668.40ms
Opera 9.50 beta – 3551.40ms
IE7 – Crashes

I’m surprised Opera fell down the list
