Chronoscope Browser Benchmark Live

Hey guys, in order to assist in the browser wars, and to let everyone test browser performance, I've built a publicly hosted version of the benchmark I used to test Google Chrome vs Firefox 3.1 and Safari 4.

Now you can run the same benchmarks too, just hop on over to http://api.timepedia.org/benchmark and let the battle begin!

As an errata for my previously published benchmarks, I did find that somehow my WebKit Nightly batch file wasn't invoking Safari correctly on my Win32 box (it was complaining about a file not found which I didn't see in the console), so my previous results were NOT with SquirrelFish. Upon rerunning with SquirrelFish, I find it actually does hold its own vs Chrome.

If you're one of those poor folks who are running IE, don't try to run the benchmark. :) It might run, but chances are, you'll get a slow script warning. Also, it uses Flash for rendering instead of Canvas, so it's not an Apples-to-Apples comparison.
