The fastest web browser: Google chrome?

Or is it not?

Speed test for Web browsers Google chrome, IE and FF

и бета-версией Firefox 3 (3.1) . Journal lifehacker.com conducted speed tests beta versions of browsers: Google chrome in comparison with the second beta Internet Explorer 8 beta version of Firefox 3 (3.1). Browsers of Tomorrow tested on startup 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 measuring the velocity used utility timer app by Rob Keir. Each test was performed for each browser three times and then calculating the average result.

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

Check time cold start (after reboot) and hot (for one browser session run twice). To compensate for the non-permanent time zauska installed Vista was a temporary gap 2 minutes after reboot. Browsers run, opening a locally saved page of Google to exclude the influence of a nonconstant speed Internet soedineniya.Vot first results:

Suddenly, Google Chrome was slower, but note that the difference between rezulatami less than a second. Let the time of hot boot:

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 the local pages. Often we work with several pages and want this work does not slow 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.

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.

Measurement was carried out with the help of Task Manager Vista at cold start and load eight pages. The most economical system resources to the browser - Firefox. Chrome on the second place. Note that Chrome loads the tabs in another way: each tab is loaded in a separate process, so that if one tab is slow down, it will have no impact on the rest. English guard:
