After Google Chrome was released a few weeks ago, it was well received for its innovative UI and outstanding javascript execution efficiency. Recently, a new JavaScript Engine, squirrelfish extreme, was released as WebKit of the safari and chrome browsers. After testing, the execution speed of this engine is significantly higher than that of chrome V8.
V8
It is Chrome's own JavaScript Engine. Although Chrome is based on WebKit, Google developed its own
The JavaScript engine replaces WebKit's JavaScript Engine, Google said, V8
It can make better use of modern multi-core processors to improve performance.
Evaluation Result
The evaluation tool used is sunspider benchmark.
The results are impressive. WebKit that uses the squirrelfish extreme engine completed the test within 1235 milliseconds, while
It took chrome 1598 milliseconds. Firefox 3, the latest version of Firefox, takes 3424 milliseconds. In the test Firefox
Tracemonkey is not enabled (the browser crashes after it is enabled), but another test result also shows that it is slower than scquirrelfish extreme and chrome V8.
The tester also performed a further test using Mozilla's dromaeo benchmark. As a result, squirrelfish extreme was still 4522 milliseconds ahead of chrome V8's 5206 milliseconds. If you want to perform a test on squirrelfish extreme yourself, you can download the WebKit containing squirrelfish extreme here.
