Here's a site that will peform a benchmark on your browser to see how quickly it can execute javascript:
http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/

Here's my results:

Firefox:
6.51 seconds

Internet Explorer:
10.26 seconds ------- almost 4 seconds slower!!!!! images/smilies/lol.gif

Now, if only firefox would start up quicker...

EDIT: spelling

You can't. In order to get such results you need to be a member of the 1337 Int3rn3t h4xx0r club. And let's be honest you never will bwahahaha.

swek, who is slightly drunk and got a result of 7,99 seconds.

with firefox?

swek · February 3rd, 2006, 10:06 PM

Erm sorry. Yes Firefox.

Roman · February 3rd, 2006, 10:07 PM

Ok I managed to get under 18 sec. by turning off Adblock and closing other tabs but this is still slow for my taste.
(And Adblock will go back up since I like to browse Ads-free images/smilies/smile.gif

)

Besides switching CPU, can I do something else ?
Would upgrading software do any good ? If so, which ones ??

Thanks.

swek · February 3rd, 2006, 10:10 PM

I wouldn't worry Roman. It's not like we know if this Benchmark test anything that's relevant to your everyday browsing. Could be all useless timebenches as far as I know.

Roman · February 3rd, 2006, 10:17 PM

Just tested with Explorer.
The first test was REALLY slow but all others were way faster than with Firefox. images/smilies/eek.gif

Time to check my versions of Firefox and Java-whatever I think !! images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Yeah, not very many websites throw a gazillion javascripts at you, but most major sites contain atleast a few, so I think this test is somewhat relevant.

mgkdk · February 3rd, 2006, 10:25 PM

35.36 seconds images/smilies/lol.gif

I think (hope) it has something to do with my ultra crappy connection.

vRS · February 3rd, 2006, 10:34 PM

Firefox: 6.97 seconds

Roman · February 3rd, 2006, 10:37 PM

Test 3 is killing me in Firefox, all others are just under two secs. images/smilies/wacko.gif

*Trying to figure it out.*

chaos386 · February 3rd, 2006, 10:48 PM

9.67 seconds, using WinXP, Firefox (with 9 tabs open!), and an Athlon 64 3800+

mgkdk: it has nothing to do with your connection speed (I'm on dial-up)
Roman: think you did the test enough times? images/smilies/lol.gif

Roman · February 3rd, 2006, 10:56 PM

Nope.

Trying to improve my results.

So far I upgraded my Firefox and Java software.

Will retest shortly.

Got to make my browsing more efficient. images/smilies/shifty.gif
