Pretty neat:

> This is the first time the Speedometer benchmark, or any major browser benchmark, has been developed through a cross-industry collaboration supported by each major browser engine: Blink/V8, Gecko/SpiderMonkey, and WebKit/JavaScriptCore.

Hopefully at some point actual click latency will be fixed in general after some dark decades.

Still incredible that a gameboy or an 80's computer with a CRT feels more responsive than most devices these days.

Bring back tactility. I'm convinced the choppiness and weird waits are actually psychologically stressing us out. That's why good keyboards + old low latency OS'es or typewriters are so soothing to use.

This is fantastic! Speedometer 1.0 was a breath of fresh air, and 2.0 was a much-needed refresh, but it's really been showing its age in recent years. 3.0 looks like a solid upgrade with many new kinds of sub-tests, contemporary frameworks, etc.

I'm looking forward to sucking at this, and then slowly and systematically improving. :^)

Are there any small engines that have enough of the web implemented that they can run it?

Latency will always be an issue as long as developers use web technologies. Nothing beats native.

Meaning, the 300ms delay (if the site developer does no optimization) with mobile browsers?
