Third Chrome beta another notch faster
,----[ Quote ]
| There could be something fishy going on here, though: Minefield, which has
| TraceMonkey turned on, actually is slower than Firefox 3.1 beta 1 with
| TraceMonkey turned off, which is hardly the result you'd expect for a
| JavaScript speed test. TraceMonkey-enabled Firefox 3.1 beta 1 couldn't run
| the test because of a bug, and though that bug was fixed in Minefield, there
| could be something else awry.

| Corporation employees, have been helping to reduce Firefox's memory usage and
| fix memory leak bugs lately. Hopefully, the result of this effort will be
| that Firefox 3 uses less memory than Firefox 2 did, especially after it has
| been used for several hours.

“Beautiful” tab switching for Firefox 3
,----[ Quote ]
| Performance-wise, CPU usage spiked from 2-3% to 45-50% during high speed tab
| switching (that is, I kept Ctrl + Tab pressed for a while), but immediately
| went back to previous cool 2-3% usage.
|
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 is expected within the next couple of weeks.
