I made this graph earlier this year, coincident with the Firefox 4 release:

"Look at how much faster JS is now than it was just a few years ago! It's

...and yet, Google's Crankshaft (Dec 2010) was *still* faster than Firefox
4's SpiderMonkey, showing that there is still room for improvement in the
space!
