Performance specs for the latest beta of the OpenSauce Firefox 3.0 suggest that the browser is shedloads faster than anything out there.
Benchmarketing carried out by Percy Cabello, who posted his results on the Mozilla Links blog, show that that Firefox 3.0 Beta 4 is 53 per cent faster than Opera 9.5 beta, twice as fast as Safari and three times faster than IE7.
The tests use the SunSpider benchmark, which looks at JavaScript performance.
A big cheese at the Mozzarella Foundation was quick to say it was all down to superior engineering. However he did admit that benchmarking was a bit of a mirage because browsers are not alike when rendering basic Web pages.
Still it does make Microsoft's IE7 look like a bloated asthmatic slug towing a caravan full of elephants in comparison
