The ray trace test focus only on number of div. Not how are those div placed. In my page, all div are floated left. I tried horizontal chart without float, it has no problem. The float in the css is killing both FF and OP.
I always think IE is the slowest until I was working on one project that need to use simple CSS to do a bar chart like graph.
I use 1 px width div and the height is pulled from the server to display a bar chart in 1 sec interval.
Then I found Firefox chocked with around 250 bars, while IE has no problem. So I opened a bug (371885) for Firefox. It lies there for months and nothing happened.
Then I think this may be a very good test case to test the browsers. So I made up this page:
Go there and try yourself. Be warned, it will hang, maybe crash your browser or OS!!
I tried Opera8 and Opera9, and now 9.5. They all stop around 2000 bars. I wrote to Opera months ago but obviously it is still not addressed.
How is IE doing? I tried 5000 bars, not a problem.
This test may be an extreme case but I would like to say that both Firefox or Opera cannot claim they are the fastest when they cannot do anything about it.

Prove that I am wrong!
