@scott: Ideally I would like to include only release versions as development versions maybe unoptimized. Chrome dev channel is as close I can get to a release version which is officially blessed by Google. If apple blesses a certain build of webkit I will be happy to include it. From past benchmarks Nightlies (chromium and webkit) have varying performance. Which is why, they are not included if possible.

Given that you are already comparing the beta version of Chrome with the release versions of Firefox and Safari, Would it not make sense for completeness’ sake to include the nightly builds of Chromium, and Webkit-on-Safari-4.0.4? Or do these make Webkit seem better, so it doesn’t quite get your point across? :)

@Rafael: Linked to the sunspider page. It is the most widely used javascript benchmark and was created by the webkit team

@durbrow: I’m not finding chrome faster than webkit. I’m finding chrome faster than safari. Safari does not always have the latest webkit.

@faczever: Opera’s latest release is not yet optimized for OS X as far as i know and is in beta. Once they do a proper release I will include it.

On my Mac, when I compare the latest Chrome Dev to the latest Webkit nightlie the Webkit nightlie is almost always 100 ms faster than the latest Chrome Dev using java Sunspider. Can you tell me why are you finding Chrome slightly faster than Webkit? Thanks!

What is the unit for the time it takes to execute sunspider? What is sunspider? What does V8 measure?
