yes i'm using snow leopard so OpenCL maybe helping out. google hasn't been keeping chrome's mac version up-to-date as much as I'd like them to, so that's a shame: not because of poor performance on this test, but other outstanding bugs not being fixed etc. I use it because it feels snappier (maybe Opera would do even better but haven't tried lately).
On my macbook pro, Safaris is the winner! 60 fps consistently. Firefox reached 45 fps. Sadly, Chrome is is my default browser now could only go upto 6 fps! Who cares about IE9 anyway ?
I used to be in charge of a general computer lab
running approximately 75 Linux PCs in the Indian
Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Most of the regular IT stuff of the Computer Center were so incompetent that as the Computer Center expanded its facilities with the purchase of new equipments, newer server machines etc. it was just impossible for them to keep up to the date with new technologies. They were, however government employees - in effect white elephants. So the University hired students to take over most of the sysadmin jobs. I played my part in maintaining and upgrading the Linux boxes periodically. Another important issue was security, particularly with Linux replacing the older vt220 terminals. The students who represented the best young brains in the country, would in no time break into the system (and maybe sneak into his/her favorite boy/girl's mailbox - unless systems are monitored and updated with security patches. The IT stuff with their 70's mindset couldn't do it - they'd lazily telnet into the file server with a 5-letter password! So, the students hired - the Computer Center Associates - would also take care of security issues. This was an environment where having students manage the network was a necessity.

60 fps with how many images? The default 4x4?
IE 9 gets 60 fps with hundreds of images...
good point -- 6x6. It does about 55 fps with 144 images.
