dhtml benchmark

Please open the graph merger in a new tab or window and leave it open during the tests.
Open all the browsers you want to test and then test the performance with the dhtml benchmark 01.
Copy the link urls into the graph merger, type the name of the test in the first column and merge the results.
Internet Explorer: Right-click on the "Result" link, choose "properties", copy the URL from the properties dialog.

I would suggest run the test up to about 300 objects, then click "pause" and "graph it".

Results

The tests were made with an AMD Athlon II X4 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, integrated ATI Radeon 3300 graphics, running under Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit.

The tests of this page are tests with newer versions of the browsers to see if something has changed

Firefox 5 and Firefox 7 perform almost identical, in fact, Firefox 7.0 is a little bit slower.

Mozilla Firefox 7.0 with HWA starts at 150fps peaks up to 180fps and delivers mere 31fps with 300 elements.
Opera 12.00.1076 pre-alpha without HWA starts at 198fps, delivers 98fps with 300 elements and 33fps with 1298 elements (out of competition, pre-alpha version)
Opera 12.00.1293 Labs OOP 64 bit with HWA starts at 250fps, delivers 132fps with 300 elements and pushes out impressive 1520elements at 33fps and 1639 elements at 30fps without hickup.
Chromium 18.0.1011.0 with HWA starts with 202fps, delivers 108fps at 300 elements, 1265 elements at and 1385 elements at 30fps - not bad too.
