Or maybe not?

Speed test for Web browsers Google chrome, IE and FF

и бета-версией Firefox 3 (3.1) . Journal lifehacker.com held speed tests beta browser: Google chrome in comparison with the second beta Internet Explorer 8 beta and Firefox 3 (3.1). Browsers tested tomorrow at startup time and page loading, JavaScript and CSS performance, and, most importantly for the user - the use of memory at launch and with a large number of open tabs.

Tests

New browsers are installed on a laptop under Vista with default settings. Parameters of the test system: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-processor, 2 GB of memory and Windows Vista Home Premium. For the measurement of the rate used by the utility timer app by Rob Keir. Each test was carried out for each browser three times and then calculating the average result.

Test 1: the start time. Winner - Google chrome!

Tested during a cold start (after reboot) and hot (during one session browser run twice). To compensate for the nonconstant time zauska Vista was installed temporary gap 2 minutes after reboot. Browsers were launched, opening a locally saved page of Google to avoid the influence of nonconstant speed Internet soedineniya.Vot initial results:

Suddenly, Google Chrome was slower, but note that the difference between rezulatami less than a second. Let us now hot Downloads:

Chrome restarts quickly, although here the results are very similar, the difference is even smaller than in the first test. However, browsers are not created for us to admire local HTML documents. Often we work with several pages and want to work is not slowed down. For the next test were loaded to 8 tabs of different sites, from simple text to burdened with interactive elements. All pages loaded simultaneously.

IE 8 and Google Chrom finished simultaneously. FF a few behind.

Test 2: JavaScript and CSS: Firefox 3 and Chrome.

The role of JavaScript in the performance of Web interfaces continues to grow. This instrument, we must rise with the updating of pages without a full reboot, which are used in interfaces for Gmail, Facebook, Facebook. To estimate used JavaScript speed tests . Test results:

As you can see, the winner of Firefox, a little behind Chrome and a lot of - IE8. Almost 2 times (the results in milliseconds). The test results processing CSS:

Here a comparison with other browsers IE8 looks even more deplorable. Winner - Chrome, far from it is FF, and IE, it should be noted, depends on this task in one case of the two.

Test 3. Using memory. Winner - Firefox.

The measurement was carried out by Task Manager Vista at cold start and load eight pages. The most economical system resources browser - Firefox. Chrome in second place. Note that Chrome loads tabs in another way: each tab to download a separate process, so that if one tab is slow down, it will not affect the others. English militiaman:

    This course is very stupid that you can nick any juzat in the comments.
    the facts speak clearly, tests the latest versions of browsers - in favor of the opera, it's not just my opinion.
    A Google Chrome and I do not like and do not I do not like. It's just a browser. Yes, not tormoznuty, but there is much more rapid - opera. The only advantages of chromium while his opera was not overtaken speed. Now he has no niodnogo dignity. And not for his love principle the.
    Do not forget that Chrome - it opensurs engine to which Google screwed its interface only and raspiaril what happened. In Google's no experience in the development of web browsers, so Chrome has turned a very mediocre creation both in terms of convenience and in terms of functionality. This "there is nothing superfluous - only means that they do not have any functional or superfluous as desired by me) that's all.
    PS or Google something radically alter it, or it will not save even the creation of such atsky PR, which imposes Google now everywhere.
