    When it comes to page load speed, extra network round trips are really bad. Even if you're loading the same total amount of data.

    Comment #6254237

    That's not so great for high-latency networks (like most cellular networks). If you use range requests, you add round trips. If you cancel the load partway, you're too late because…

    SVG is fine for assets that can easily be described in vector form, but it's not the best choice for all image types. For example, photographs (where you might have an ultra high r…

    In the case of Web standards in particular, you can usually see the checkins in our public source tree well before we ship it. But per policy we will rarely publicly commit to ship…

    Try the version in WebKit nightlies and the OS X Mavericks developer preview. It's much improved from Safari 6.

    I expect other browsers could greatly improve JSBench performance if they focused on it. But I would be quite surprised if they matched Safari's current results in a month. It took…

    Other JS benchmarks are not based on highly-trafficked real-world sources at all, so perhaps "real" is relative.

    Its's real. You can try the benchmark yourself here, and learn how it is different from other JS benchmarks " rel="nofollow">http://jsbench.cs.purdue.edu/> .

    Thanks, Mike. And sorry also if my reply was too lengthy or pedantic or otherwise out of place. I feel bad for getting into a back-and-forth about this.

    You're right that Chrome's multiprocess architecture is more mature than the WebKit2 design. I wish we hadn't ended up in a position where we felt we had to make our own. But stay …
