My own benchmark results are delayed a bit, because my main goal is to benchmark the browsers on same (low-end / legacy) hardware with different operating systems, and I didn't get around to some of those OS'es just yet. Plus I decided to use this UNIX desktop hopping session to give "my long twilight struggle" against Nvidia driver crashes one final try...
I would very much like to see multi-OS benchmark results from other people as well. Windows has always been far ahead of Loonix in this regard
(ex), but the benchmarks I've seen are now outdated, plus it can always be claimed that the Loonix system wasn't tweaked just right. So I'm wondering if any Loonix apologists on this forum can show Loonix best Windows... at anything...
In the meantime, here are some recent
Windows 7 results from CNET:
IE9 seems to be a winner when it comes to games, and Chrome when it comes to raw JS performance. The tests won by Firefox are less significant, but it's clearly a fast well-rounded browser. As is Opera, which is absent from their test (Safari is also missing, but I wouldn't call it "well-rounded").
