How is it possible that Chrome is quicker than Firefox in every respect except for page load time? Isn't page load time just a cumulative result of all the other categories?

I guess the page load is tested by loading a blank page and therefore just testing the networking stuff and not the rendering, javascript, etc.

It's a test of loading yahoo.com, not a blank page.
