Hello,

Someone *might* be interested in a strange thing I just came across.
i found a huge difference in performance between the latest Camino 0.8b
nightly vs the latest trunk nightly on a popular javascript test page.
[The about dialog says, for both, 2004053008 (v0.8b+)]

I tried with both builds the tests on
http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/benchjs.html

With the 0.8b-build, _Test 6_* takes about 5 seconds on a G5/bi-1.8.
With the trunk's nightly build, as well as with my (first
succeeded :)) own trunk build, the same test takes about 132 (!) seconds.


The same performance regression does not occur on the latest FireFox
trunk nightly build (Gecko/20040531 Firefox/0.8.0+) nor on the latest
mozilla trunk build (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a2)
Gecko/20040531)

Overall, Camino 0.8b is really a runner on those tests,
leaving every other browser on Mac OS X far behind him
(except for Opera 7.5, which is closer to Camino).

Test 6 is the only one where Safari (1.2.2) "wins", btw (also against 0.8b).

regards,
Lorenzo
