[dba-Tech] web developers struggling with IE

Hi All:

I have not ran any tests myself one way or the other so I can hardly comment
on the performance of one browser against the other. 

Here is test Lifehacker, a techy site, that has produced "pretty" good
testing results from all sort of application; backups, installs, virus
scanning apps and so on. From them here is the latest browser test results
(January 15, 2013)

http://lifehacker.com/browser-speed-tests/

I really care little how well a browser specifically performs as all I
expect is that the browser tries to stick to the standards. Outside that if
the browser is running too slow, it is most likely that I am trying to make
a single page do too much so I just split it up, reduce the picture sizes
and move anything (major) data related to the server. Proper design can
resolve a host of performance issues.

Jim

 Hi Hans --

Same machine, IE and Chrome running as separate browser instances each one
on its own display, Win 8 Prof.

Thank you.

on Chrome and IE - no time to finish now - IE is going through tests a bit
quicker AFAIS but I can be wrong with my interpretation as result numbers -
runs/s - are better for Chrome in average AFAIS.
>> V8 Benchmark Suite (
http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v3/run.html ) - version  3 -
not sure it's a proper test set except last one RegExp related. Thank you.
