That would be meaningful, and much more in line with how we benchmark other technologies.

So basically 3.5 is around 2.5x faster (250%) than 3.0.x but that's still half the speed of Safari 4 or Chrome so it's still slow in comparison. I was pretty disappointed because I didn't notice the difference in normal web usage and I'm shocked to see a benchmark shows the JS speed to be that much faster and I can't notice it in real world usage. PS: thanks for posting this, it needed to be said because all I see from the other commenter is whining. If they want some niche benchmark comparison, then they need to run it them self, running 3.1 is just silly you're comparison was extensive.

My observation has been that Webkit based browsers are significantly faster at rendering than Gecko. JS benchmarks are interesting, but it would be great to see some DOM manipulation comparisons too.

They're well-known and widely-respected old Lisp benchmarks. It's more accurate to say that Chrome is heavily skewed in favor of those benchmarks.

I thought it had, I may be mistaken. Hotpath tracing isnt always a performance win though. Hasn’t tracemonkey been included in FF since 3.1? I thought it had, I may be mistaken.
