Steve Souders has unveiled a new test suite for browser performance charcteristics. Please take all your browsers, especially obscure ones, and run the automatic tests in them. You'll help web developers around the world.

With a new browser war looming, and JavaScript being the main battleground, the quality of JavaScript benchmarks becomes more and more important. John Resig takes a look at the three most important ones.

Another DOM vs. innerHTML test. This series of tests suggests that DOM is faster in Safari and Opera, though innerHTML remains faster in Firefox and IE.

Benchmark tests for run times of low-level JavaScript functionality in the four major browsers. Overall ranking:
The results of my own tests tend to swap Safari and Firefox, but they're different sorts of tests. In any case we're one step closer to understanding performance issues in the four major browsers.

The first independent iPhone benchmark test, compared with a MacBook Pro. John Murch ran a few online benchmarks, among which my DOM vs. innerHTML one.
Unfortunately we still don't know if these figures can be compared with other browsers due to the Date object problems I posted about earlier.
Nonetheless the comparison between Safari 3 on MacBook Pro and iPhone is (should be) valid. Result: the iPhone is much, much slower (factor 100!). That's much more than I expected, frankly.

A W3C DOM vs. innerHTML benchmark. Its conclusions match mine: innerHTML is much faster than "real" W3C DOM methods.

Ryan Campbell does some benchmark tests with Prototype's Enumerator, and finds it's significantly slower than a traditional, non-library approach.
If basic JavaScript will do the task, then use basic JavaScript.

Dave Johnson did some benchmarks for W3C DOM, JSON and XSLT as Ajax response formats. His conclusion is that XSLT is by far the fastest method. I hope he gets around putting his test pages online soon, so that people can verify this conclusion.

Some tests for determining JavaScript execution speed. Please do the tests; the results are automatically added to the database.

Dave (can't find his last name) continues his series of JavaScript benchmark tests, this time for finding the fastest method of changing the background colour of a table. The results are interesting, but I wish he'd publish his test pages.

MS tips for faster DOM Scripting in Explorer. Contains benchmark tests (I thought I was the only one who did that). The tests could use a bit longer loops (1000 iterations instead of the 100 currently used), but all in all the tips have an experimental basis and can serve as a first step towards real benchmarking.

Benchmarking test for XSLT and JavaScript. Conclusion: Explorer Windows is far faster than Firefox. In Firefox JavaScript is much faster than XSLT.
