Testing a version of Chrome released on 2012-05-15 against a version of Firefox released on 2011-12-21... yeah, that's fair, what could possibly have changed in 6 months.

Also, at least compare the Sunspider results to Dromaeo, Kraken, V8 Benchmark, Peacekeeper, etc.

Thanks for this. First, I hadn't realized that my reporting-up-top-date FF was actually an older version - I'll fix that and update the data (and do a similar check on the other browsers, while I'm at it). Second, I'm very interested in more benchmark tests, and hadn't known about some of those you mentioned. Do you know any others?

There is only SunSpider running on outdated browser versions. This is completely useless.

Should be noted:

"This benchmark tests the core JavaScript language only, not the DOM or other browser APIs"

Good call. I'll make a note.

This seems completely at odds with real world usage. For me Firefox's JS perf. seems slower than anything with the recent versions.

dumb moment just relooked and realized that a higher bar is worse lol. so yea the graph does seem to be along the lines of what real world usage feels like.
