Post your Internet Browser Benchmark part 1

Mercurial

Alright so lets have a "fastest browser contest" :P
Basically you just benchmark your browser here Peacekeeper - The Browser Benchmark and post the results here ! you can benchmark as many browsers as you like that you use on your system...

Here I go
P4 2.8ghz
1gb RAM
128 GPU RAM no pixel shader (Lol)
Firefox wins for me :P

Captain Zero

What a silly bench but fun, nonetheless. 1128 with IE8 x32.

Edit; Re-ran with Minefield x64 and Java x64.

ickymay

I am an undying Opera fan

Mercurial

lol nice whats your specs o.o

Quill

Here we go:

Top left to right firefox 3.5b5 followed by firefox x64 3.5b4
bottom left to right IE followed by IE x64

I tried with Opera but it complained it couldn't find MSVCRT71.DLL not my problem so I uninstalled it right away. Google Chrome wouldn't even connect to the page... gone too

All in all firefox was the easiest, didn't need anything, unlike IE which needed to download some ActiveX controls (Meh!) Was the fastest by far too.

I was also downloading some files during the tests too...

nate42nd

I ran it with other tabs open first them again with none. Chrome does pretty well.

IE 8 is just embarrassing. I couldn't even post it.

I need to get on-board with the x64 Java. Looks good !

swarfega

IE8 (with proxy) 989
IE8 (64-bit with proxy) 1004
IE8 (64-bit with proxy and 64-bit java) 1121
Chrome (with IE proxy) 3308
Firefox 3.0.10 (no proxy) 1121

so clear winner for me is Chrome.

nate42nd

I just tried this at work.

Got a 2410 with Chrome 1.0.154.65 on a lesser machine with other tabs open.
IE8 got 580

I don't see how this works ? ? ? Ah well

I know Chrome rules.

Quill

Small update:

Passive system (nothing else happening - single tab in browser) - (got Chrome working - Ugly but fast) firefox is pretty much the same as before. I also tried fx x64 (shiretoko 3.5.b4) with java x64 and there was no difference to my earlier post.

Mercurial

wow chrome was owning in this thread so I was curios and tested it and guess what!

theCount

Firefox is my Default Browser. I need the extensions like Web Dev toolbar, xmarks, greasemonkey , wordpress helper, FastDial etc...



on my system Safari 4 beta wins hands down...


Chrome 2 doesn�t do too bad...


Opera 9.64 performs better than FF...


Exploiter 8 is an EPIC FAIL... (as expected)


I ran the benchmark while my girlfriend was playing WoW so my results are probably inaccurate although they do reflect the "real" situation I work with...

daniel101

I dont get this,
is this good?

Mercurial

if you bench mark IE8 or other browser with in the same system you'll know the answer

Hi all. I'm new here. I thought I would post my results as I'm not sure how to read them. It appears as if Safari 4 for Win and Chrome win out but again I'm not certain. Anyway, here goes. Thanks and I look forward to learning a lot from everyone here.

Everyone from here forward should include IE8 in their test. Hopefully word will get to someone in microsour about how much slower IE is than anything else out there and they'll do something to fix it... right.. I'll probably win a lottery first

Yeah, you can do that, or, attempt to uninstall IE, not use it, and download Opera (which you seem to have), or Chrome. Those are the fastest browsers. Safari is pretty fast too. You can also buy this machine: 48473 - Blackstorm Ultimate - Verkkokauppa.com

I'm personally waiting to get some money before buying anything, that and waiting for USB 3.0 to come out, since PC's with USB 2.0 will be outdated, should mean cheaper price (likely not buy much).

As for the finish thing.. thank the lord Google Chrome has a built-in translator.

I too had a big jump between versions too;
Chrome v5.0.335 - 6506
Chrome v5.0.342 - 8289
Chrome v5.0.356 - 8520

My big jump was 335 => 342 where I saw 1783 point jump. From 335 => 356 I saw an overall increase of 2014.

Obviously, the developers optimized the code along the way.

Of course they don't however, what I should have said, was that margin of difference in this benchmark is way too great. I wonder what could cause such a big discrepency. These results reflect other people's experience with Chrome but for me, it's slower than FF all round.
Looks like I have some investigating to do

Thats a joke, right? IE has never loaded pages faster then FireFox/Chrome for me. Also, is your Firefox 'Optimized' in any way (about:config tweaks to speed it up)? When I say Chrome is faster then Firefox, I mean with its default settings.

I shouldn't have to tweak a browser to make it faster then another.

Hmm. That is quite odd. I've tried it on three computers (mine, my girlfriends and my best friends, both have better specs then my own). All three Chrome was the fastest on, Firefox was a little slower and IE8 was a lot slower. (different internet speeds to)

MadMaxData

What I find odd is that I never have to wait on Internet Explorer to load....ever. So why switch to a "faster" browser?

CarlTR6

IE loads quickly at startup; it just doesn't load pages nearly as quick as FF and Chrome - at least on my machines. That can make a big difference for those with slow internet connections.

Perhaps your workplace has some restrictions, which limit chrome. Have you tested both side by side at home?

I've got cable hookup, so you could be right. Have you ever tried running IE without ActiveX enabled?

Boris

My opera 10.51 score: 5884 (@work)

CarlTR6

No, I haven't. I don't use IE except for MS sites and even then, I usually use FF with IE Tab. Back when I was living in the boondocks (five years ago) neither cable nor ADSL were available. All I had was dialup. I switched to FF because IE was so slow to render pages. Since then, I have used FF. Now that I have ADSL, the speed issue is not as important; but even with ADSL, FF, Chrome, and Opera are much faster at rendering most pages than IE8. And this new browser, Lunascape, is even faster. It is a pretty cool browser. Kari turned me on to it.

MadMaxData

Yeah, me too. I downloaded it yesterday. However, I'm just going to use it when I need to check my JavaScript codes for browser compatibility. I love my IE8. The only time I didn't care for IE was when popups first started coming out [God I feel old]. IE would get uncontrolable popups, and open up more windows than you could close. But they fixed that shortly afterward. I guess I'm the only die-hard IE guy around. I never cared for Firefox, I think it looks like a kiddy browser.

Boris

Lunascape looks very practical, but is not the way forward. In an ideal world browsers should adhere to web standards...

CarlTR6

Agreed; but unfortunately, we are not in an ideal world.

gzt7d8

New version of Chrome Dev 5.0.360, gave me another big boost of around 700 points from 8520 to 9241.


Greg

Edit: Tested Chrome Dev 5.0.366 was another boost; 9691

Heres the scores for the Browsers on my PC.

Chrome 5.0.366.2 vs. Firefox 3.7a4 vs. Opera 10.51 vs. IE9:

I wonder what code Social networking tests... this is where Chrome needs improvement. Also some tips from Opera on rendering

stve

Just ran the test again using Opera 10.52 portable.

Dave76

Only use IE on some MS sites.

After I got Chrome, FF and Opera just weren't getting used, so finally let them go.

It's all personal preference, none are better than others, it's what you like and feel comfortable with. Well, except for IE, it's just slow.

Corrine

Guess I'll stick with FF.

A second computer benchmarked at 2555 Points for Firefox. I didn't pay much attention to the results, merely gave a shot to "play along". As long as I can get to the forums and the pages load quickly with my lite broadband connection, I'm happy.

That's a better score, as long as it's doing what you need.

I'm severely broadband limited as well. Slow connection

Not that it matters that much. According to this my Chrome install is twice as fast as my Firefox, but I can see no real world difference between them and I use Firefox as my browsers.

Yeah you won't see much of a difference if you don't use web applications heavy in JavaScript / HTML5. In some areas Chrome is a lot faster than IE/FF.

It's kind of hard to measure performance on the web because of the broad composition of code in different web sites plus factoring in network bandwidth / latency.

You are right. The benchmarks are really potential. Between variations in bandwidth and variations in coding, I don't see any difference in FF and Chrome speed wise - except Chrome loads faster initially. There is not enough difference to lead me to change to Chrome. I have no trouble the difference in speed with IE.

I'm not sure. I downloaded the one for 64-bit Linux systems: google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb

But I'm not sure if the process is 64-bit or how to check that in Linux.

Thats a true 64-bit Browser then. Which also has a 64-bit flash for it (lucky linux).

As far as I know, 64-bit linux operating systems cannot use 32-bit linux applications. Not an expert though so I could be wrong but try to install anything i386 and it will deny it.

Here's my scores comparing Opera 10.51 against the current Chrome release & the latest Chrome Beta release.
I'm using the portable version of Opera.

Latest version of Chrome!!

I have just installed & benchmarked the Wyzo browser which is based on Firefox my PC seems slower today Opera seems to have slowed down by about 10% while Chrome is about 50% slower.
After running the Peacekeeper test on Wyzo & closing the browser I noticed there was a process left open by Wyzo (FF3.5.6) & it was still consuming 103 MB. Wyzo has several extensions added by default which may be slowing it down ?

IMO peacekeeper is flawed. I was testing IE8 32bit vs 64 bit and noticed that my IE8 32 score had dropped from ~1050 to ~850. I scoured my PC of anything running to zero effect. A little while later I ran it again and it was back up to ~1050.

I did notice that during the lower score times, I was also having slow access to the peacekeeper page.

It definitely seems like a flaky benchmark. Sunspider might be more consistent.

But benchmarking browsers is a largely pointless activity. A browser being even 2 or 3 times faster doesn't actually result in a better browsing experience, because the bottleneck is not in rendering, it is in getting pages off the net.

That latest sunspider is good but it only measures a subset of Javascript performance.

Dromaeo is better because it tests the DOM and some CSS selectors along with Javascript but doesn't test HTML5.

Slickspeed is a comprehensive benchmark for CSS selector framework speed.

There's no real good test for HTML5 canvas besides Peacekeeper. Maybe c5bench but it says its only for smartphones.

You are right that network download time (even if we had Google gigabit fiber) is still the dominant bottleneck in web performance but it is still good to improve in other subsystems.

Then maybe use Peacekeeper just for the Canvas bench and note that it isn't even included in the final score since some browsers don't support it (IE).

And also note that Peacekeeper does have issues with ~20% margin of error.

is this good?

Just tested the latest betas from Chrome & Opera very close, remember Chrome 5 & Opera 10.52 are betas Chrome edges it but the Opera scores are more evenly spread.
I remembered i can tile the tabs in Opera makes it simpler if you want to show the details as well.

Peacekeeper benchmarks do seem to vary depending on what time of day you do them but if you do do different browsers under the same conditions the relative performance seems OK.

All the browsers are fast enough with my 10MB broadband even IE 8 , if the internet connection is slow or i am being throttled (capped) by my broadband provider the turbo mode in Opera will make it the fastest but if you forget to turn it off when your connection speed improves Opera will then be the slowest browser.
What the Peacekeeper test does not show is how fast Opera is when you use the back or forwards buttons that is noticeable.
IE 8 is fast enough for most sites but is pretty useless on sites like Chromium Experiments.
The User Interface of a browser is where you can gain speed the slowest part of my system is the human keyboard operator so has your browser got good keyboard shortcuts mouse gestures etc...

stve

Opera has released 10.53 a stability & security fix. I benchmarked it against Chome which for some unknown reason was running very slowly so I installed a newer version & that was even slower. Opera & Firefox were unaffected.

Devon

Doesn't seem to me that opera's the world's fastest browser.

fatedquest

Some browsers you don't see often on Windows 7 64 bit running on a mobile processor.

stve

@ Devon not on your PC but the fastest system on Peacekeeper using Opera 10.52 scored 14274 so if any browser can lay claim to being the fastest it's Opera .
Just tested the latest 10.54 beta from Opera & its very fast while Chrome at least on my PC has slowed to a crawl.

Two weeks ago Chrome 5.0.375.17 beta scored 11252 on my PC see page 15 of this thread post 148.
Since then on my PC Chrome has been running very slowly especially on the rendering tests installing the latest Chrome beta tonight it's the same story everything else on my PC is running fast browsing with Chrome feels as fast as ever it's only running the Peacekeeper test it seems slow especially the bouncing balls, no idea why.

Opera 10.6 alpha is pretty fast

Its funny but every time i do a fresh install of Opera the first benchmark run with Peacekeeper is always the highest no idea why .

Heres mine,

Opera running inside greenborder( its a type of sandbox) on XP running in virtualbox on windows 7. For my system specs i think its ok.

It is a nightly build of Chromium.
Index of /buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp

Scroll down to the very last folder, no auto update ability for nightlies so manual updates only (meaning downloading the mini_installer.exe and running it to overright the current installed nightly).

Can be installed alongside Chrome/Chromium (Beta/Dev).

Apple say Safari is "The world�s fastest browser, Safari has speed to burn"
I don't know what weed they've been smoking but its not that fast on my PC.

About Maxthon it's Chinese & based on IE it has a menu button like Opera paste & go & mouse gestures very few options to configure it.

"GPU rendering will used in conjunction with Webkit, one of two code sets that make up Maxthon 3.0�s hybrid rendering engine. The engine translates a Web�s page�s HTML code into text and graphics displayed on the PC�s screen. The other code set is Trident, used to optimize older Web pages written for Internet Explorer�s vintage display standards. Maxthon�s rendering engine switches automatically between the two code interpreters depending on the type of Web page the browser is opening."

Safari unknown & Internet Explorer 7 are both Maxthon 3.0.11.8

I've also tested Firefox 3.6.4 release candidate.

Chrome is fast again on my PC but opening 23 tabs in both Opera was a lot quicker.
I like the way you can just drag & drop a bookmark folder into Chrome from another browser , pretty cool i hope Opera adds that feature.

Here is a post from a Chromium developer:

Comment 24 by vange...@chromium.org, Jun 07 (3 days ago)
@divilex, gpu acceleration for chromium is already in the works! As a matter of fact, our OpenGL-based gpu compositor is pretty complete although currently sitting behind a compile-time flag. I'm working on making it available as a command-line option within the next day or so. Please stay tuned.

@phistuck is right that a lot of even fairly new windows PCs out there don't have up-to-date OpenGL drivers. That's why we started the ANGLE project and are now working on integrating it with Chromium.

Looks like we will need up to date OpenGL drivers on Windows though. If there are no OpenGL drivers for your graphics card under Windows then you have to use this: angleproject - Project Hosting on Google Code which I believe translates DirectX calls to OpenGL.


I'm glad Google will use a OpenGL-based compositor instead of DirectX, so we can get GPU-accelerated rendering on any Linux platform including Chrome on Android for Google TV, and Mac OS X.

Dang, still haven't cracked 10K. Chromium 6.0.432.0 (49506) This is with both GPU rendering and video layering enabled.
