Firefox 4.0 b11 - Impressive!
After sobbing a bit about having to create a separate class to handle IE property getters and setters, I decided to upgrade my current beta of Firefox to 11 and give the engine a quick run through. I have to say, I am impressed! The JavaScript engine is much faster and the overall experience was buttery smooth (except when the number of animated objects got pretty high - say 125 particles and 40 visible objects). Overall, I am happy with the changes to the browser's JavaScript engine and memory handling. It's getting on par with Chrome for performance within the demos.
Can you make something like benchmark based on your engine? :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about doing exactly that. I'll see what I can come up with.
