Their startup perf numbers are depressing: "From cold, it was taking anything from 20 to 25 seconds for Firefox 3.5 to load his home page. Even Internet Explorer 8 was five seconds nimbler. Opera 10, the latest version of an old favourite from Norway, was faster still. But Chrome 3 blew everything away, loading the home page in half Firefox’s time. Once they had been started from cold and had loaded their innards into memory, all four browsers could be restarted and load the home page in five seconds or so."
That is: cold startup = ~12sec; warm startup = ~5sec. What could be taking so long? http://www.economist.com/sciencetechnology/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14437676 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
