It was fairly easy to clobber FF by packing a few thousand complicated things into it. In some tests I did with hundreds of SMILs + nasty JavaScript, I could clobber Opera with about half the number of objects needed to bring IE to its knees. At the same time, I have found examples in which Opera and FF outperform IE by orders of magnitude (for example in repeated string concatenation as seen at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/javascript/stringtimer.html.)
I've also seen some unpleasant things where code which worked under IE/ASV3 under Windows pre XP, stopped working with IE/ASV3 under Windows XP. I just figure some cars are better at driving through mud, while others do better on curvy wet highways. ------------------------ Yahoo!
