Firefox 3 Performance Gets a Boost
jason writes "Mozilla has been working hard at making Firefox 3 faster than its predecessor, and it looks like they might be succeeding. They've recently added some significant JavaScript performance improvements that beat out all of the competition, including Opera 9.5 Beta. And it comes out to be about ten times faster than Internet Explorer 7! Things are really starting to fall into place for Firefox 3 Beta 4 which should be available in the next week or two."
Surf with NoScript and the JavaScript engine will be invoked much less than usual.
Ten times faster than IE in doing what? IE typically ends the race freezing up or crashing. Does that mean firefox is going to get to that point faster? I hope not.
It wasn't so much a memory leak issue as it was memory fragmentation.

Would you like a slice of toast?
3* tabs should be enough for everybody.
*For older versions of IE, 3 equals 1.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
But with NoScript it's not so much surfing as paddling through the mud!
There is no "the memory leak" or "the memory issue", just as there is no "the crash problem" or "the security problem"

Because there are too many knee-jerk idiot mods who don't consider context and can't be bothered to check facts.
At least when they mod me "Offtopic" they'll have done the job correctly.

You don't realize "vwala" is the de-frenchified, freedom-loving, non-retreating version of the word from the Freedom Fries crowd. It means "Behold, believe and profess. Else you will be classified an enemy combatant".
Expect to find it in a GWB-approved dictionary any day now.
I'm sorry if I haven't offended anyone
But the industry! Won't somebody please think of the industry!
