Google Frame Benchmarks 9x Faster than IE8
ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Early tests with Google's Chrome Frame found IE8 runs 9.6 times faster than usual. The testers ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark suite." The other question is what is the performance hit of using the Frame plug-in instead of running the browser natively.
Yes, I did. There's no need to be a smart ass dick head (I noticed you posted anonymously because you can't stand behind what you say if you're going to spout off like an asshat). It does render properly if you force it. That's not really a mystery since we already know Chrome can pass acid3. My point is that in normal browsing it won't render unless the site calls it. If you're going to preface every uri with "cf:" you might as well just install Chrome. The only advantage that will give you is that UA will still report as IE8 but will use Chrome Frame to render.
It's somewhat significant because it's easy to get the impression that just by installing Chrome Frame you will now be rendering through that as a default.
Don't think of it as a flame, more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage.
