Using Moore's law does that mean Google's development is approximately 6 years ahead of MS? (8 times faster code doubles the speed once, doubles the speed twice, and doubles the speed a third time.)
Can someone point to an application where this performance improvement can be demonstrated?
If I had to rank-order the various humiliations I've seen, this comes near the top. Microsoft: "here's our best stab at what a great browser looks like - and it took us 14 years to get here". Google: "we've been working on a codebase for 2 years. We decided to release it as a patch to your browser. Our brief foray into this area has improved your best effort by 10x". Ouch!
This is misleading. Webkit, the core component of Chrome, has been worked on for far more than 2 years.

Except they only benchmarked javascript performance. V8 is only about 2 years old.
Without knowing what site was used in the testing and in what manner (rendering speed, javascript speed, xml parsing speed ??) is the chrome plugin 8 times faster, I would rather keep my fingers crossed.

They tested using the SunSpider javascript benchmark: http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html
Anyone have real-life applications of this benchmark? Similar to 3D-gaming and CPU/GPU benchmarking in general the results (and winners) depend highly on the parameters of the test. Although at the end of the day nothing matters except real world performance. Can someone point to an application where this performance improvement can be demonstrated?
