First, JavaScript performance testing-SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark

Then the webpage specification Test-ACID3

(Firefox 3.1 in the table should be Firefox 3.0.1. The shorter the first column, the better the result .)

Obviously,Compared with IE7, IE8 Beta 2 has greatly improved browsing speed and standard compatibility, especially the former, which is three times faster, but it is much worse than Firefox, in particular, the ACID3 standard test score is less than 1/3 of Firefox 3.0.1.
