FirefoxJavaScript performance comparison: Wine is better than Linux

Article title: FirefoxJavaScript performance comparison: Wine is also better than Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

TuxRadar.com is a website for Linux enthusiasts. it is not blindly superstitious, but thinks that Linux also has many shortcomings to be improved, such as network browsing. Considering the extensiveness of JavaScript applications, we will use Firefox 3.0 to check the performance differences between Windows and Linux.

The test platform is configured with Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz, 4 GB memory, and TB hard drive. the operating system is Windows XP SP3 and Fedora 10, and Firefox version is 3.0.6, both systems run in 32-bit mode. The red set in the following test results is poor.

Unexpectedly, the Windows version was almost complete, and the advantages of the three projects were obvious. In fact, the poor performance of Linux Firefox is nothing new, but we usually focus on page refresh and scroll speed. It seems that the problem is not because Mozilla is not working properly, but the general performance of Linux itself.

In addition, the reason why Windows Vista is not used in the test is mainly because the test shows that Windows XP is not fast. Although changing to Vista will make Linux better, XP is still the preferred platform for a large number of users. for example, 67.48% of visitors to TuxRadar.com still use XP.

Finally, it is a special supplementary test. the test object has five projects: windows Firefox, Fedora integrated Firefox, Mozilla compiled Fedora Firefox, Windows Firefox simulated running on Fedora 10 through Wine 1.1.12, and Firefox Ora version Firefox 9.63.

Windows is still the best. The Fedora version is comparable to the Mozilla version, but it is not as good as running through Wine, that is, the simulation is faster than the native version.
