I had a really good workout today and I feel great.

Tomorrow I'll be in the rants section saying I had a really good workout yesterday and I feel like crap.

I love Chrome, have you tried that yet?

No, still too enthused with Firefox.

There is something seriously wrong with your computer. I can run chrome with 4 tabs open, another window, MUSH, BOINC, a text document, and mIRC and it'll still be faster than IE by itself.

I can run chrome with 9 tabs open, another window with 3 tabs, zMUD, a text document, mIRC, MSN, AIM, Spider Solitaire, and Skype and it'll still be faster than IE by itself.

And my zMUD won't lag too, booya!

Chrome works faster than Firefox for me, but I rarely use it because it seems to randomly freeze or seize up on certain websites, and Firefox is just prettier with my current customizations.

I can close Chrome, open IE, open Chrome, and get five tabs open and loaded on Chrome before my GMail homepage loads on IE. It's a shame that so much still isn't compatible with Chrome.

That's what Firefox is useful for. laugh.gif

So, for fun, I ran some browser benchmark tests.

First one is from Google. Definite bias, but it was the easiest for me to find. Higher scores are better. I ran it multiple times, and there was variance, but there was nothing even close to overlap between the three.

Link: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v3/run.html

IE: 42.8
Firefox: 82.6
Chrome: 1386

Second one is not from Google. Similar, but much less drastic results. Lower scores are better. I did not run it multiple times, because it runs itself multiple times, and it was painful watching the IE one tick away so very slowly.

Link: http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html

IE: 39868.0ms +/- 2.8%
Firefox: 20263.2ms +/- 1.2%
Chrome: 1424.4ms +/- 1.1%

So, not only does Chrome test better on my system, the difference is so ridiculously disproportionate that it's almost funny.

How can you possibly eat 100 mangos before they go bad? ohmy.gif
Unknown2009-05-03 04:07:41
You don't -eat- mangoes, you mix them with yogurt and milk and sugar and drink.
