General :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
There is something wrong with those tests. There is no way that IE7 could give such bad results compared to the others. I dont use it but it certainly isnt that much worse than FF or Safari. Evidently the author doesnt like Microsoft. Sounds like a Google Chrome fanboy to me.
Yo here is another one and check out some of the bogus browsers they test. k-meleon is great however in the link that you posted it was the five top rowsers as far as web usage. It goes IE 72%,firefox 19%,safari6%,,opera.0.71%, netscape 0.68,google chrome 0.26%, mozilla,0.095, other%. K-meleon is not in the ratings because they just lump the rest in there. Want to get pissed look at this review 2009 web browsers, in it maxthon, flock, Deepnet explorer and Phaseout. Enjoy http://internet-browser-review.toptenreviews.com/ it's all about the money.
I mostly agree, but: IE7 does give bad results.
IEs' 5.5-7 are even slower than e.g. IE 5.01 and 8.
IE6 & 7 are the most resource hungry and slowest browsers - if compared with current and past IE browsers ( at its times IE 6/7 were only ok, if You did not compare with K-Meleons, Operas, Firefoxes, Safaris or even IE 5.01 and 8
).
"Sounds like fan..." - IMHO Google Chrome is fast but loosing much time on spying - Iron is AFAIK todays state of the art browser - for PPL that want the khtml engine. No frills (extra gadgets) or redundant spyware items. Safari 3 is using an older khtml implememntation with a slower JS engine (Safari 4 will use the new JS-engine like Iron).
As for Firefox3.x GRE & its much venerated new JavaScriptEngine?
IMHO its GRE & JS engine is the state of the art. AFAIK it is the fastest JS-engine & just that after only a few months of specialists' optimisations!
However it is likely that K-Meleon will be fastest with that too.
Comment: Fast JS is needed for many new web applications & compared with Firefox and other future Xulrunner apps K-Meleon.exes just look good.
(K-Meleons higher speed is by design. Firefox etc. use the whole big Xulrunner GRE (includes files for mail etc.) - while K-Meleon uses & loads only the browser components of it = less code = more speed ( one up for k-meleon
).
The test results with Chrome, Hao's betas and Dorian's pre-versions for best JS implememntation & GRE were published in this forum.
p.s. On Win32 IMHO Gecko runtime environment is state of the art.
IMHO On Win32 K-Meleon is better by design than every other Gecko browser
K-Meleon project has only one problem - too few devs - so K-Meleon 1.6 will be late
