Visually Demonstrating Chrome's Rendering Speed

Posted by kdawson on from the want-to-see-it-again dept.

eldavojohn writes "Recent betas of Google's Chrome browser are getting seriously fast. Couple that with better hardware, on average, and it's getting down to speeds that are difficult to demonstrate in a way users can appreciate. Which is why Google felt that some Rube Goldberg-ish demonstrations with slo-mo are in order. Gone are the days of boring millisecond response time metrics."

    Your sub-millisecond rendering time enabled me to get FP!

    I think anybody can appreciate the explosions in the potato and lightning tests. After all, Michael Bay is very popular for a reason.

    Geeks likely understand it at a different level, but it's still entertaining for the layman.

    "...you could have a browser coded by Jesus Christ himself and it's going to be slow as dirt."

    Not only that, but it would take three days to recover from a crash.

    I think that was the coolest commercial I have ever seen.

    Let me just say this to the guy at Google who:

    • used his 20% time
    • got work to buy him:
      • a tesla coil
      • a high-speed camera
      • parts to build a potato gun
      • a frier
    • spent work time building, testing, and playing with all this
    • and generated real Company value from the effort

    Somebody please post a scan of this most legendary PO of all time.
