It sees my IE8 as IE6. I scored 280 with a dual core Xp3800 and an 8800GS - both overclocked.

^ It identifies IE8 Release Candidate correctly on my PC. Got a score of 1080 or something..I'll check again

I got 521 with FF3.07

666 on my laptop with Firefox 3.1b4pre (Shiretoko 20090312054420).

lol, 257 on my laptop with IE7

 

[VirtualLarry]

43 points here. PIII 1Ghz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, IE7 on XP Home SP3.

Edit: 231 on a E5200 @ 3.75, 4x1GB DDR2-667, XP SP3, IE7, 9600GSO, 250GB Seagate IDE.

 

[DoubleHelix747]

212 for FF 3.07 on P4 2.4GHz, 768GB RAM, 120GB HD, XP SP3.

After seeing this, I am tempted to switch to Chrome or Opera (I know there is Safari for Windows as well but am not familiar with it as wintel machines are concerned).

1821 on Safari 4 Public Beta (build 5528.16) on my Hackintosh (3.25GHz Pentium Dual Core, 4GB DDR2-800, OS X 10.5.6)
1747 on Safari 4 Public Beta (build 528.16) on my Hackintosh (3.25GHz Pentium Dual Core, 4GB DDR2-800, Win 7 64 Beta 7000)
701 on Safari 4 Public Beta (build 5528.16) on my MacBook (1.83GHz Core Duo, 2GB DDR2-667, OS X 10.5.6)

 

[Fox5]

Hmm, why isn't firefox 3.07 in the list of popular browsers?

Anyhow, I got 550 on Firefox 3.07, but that's with a ton of background windows and such open. On a Pentium dual core at 3.4Ghz.

Very surprised at how horrible the athlon 64 3800+ system does, it's almost like the browsers are horribly unoptimized for it.

What exactly is this measuring? Seems like a waste of a benchmark to me.

What does it test?

JavaScript...

What does it NOT test?

Peacekeeper is a JavaScript performance benchmark. It does not test your browser?s other features nor does it measure its security functionality. It does not check for W3C conformity, nor does it test external components such as Flash. It does not test, nor is the score influenced by, your internet connection speed or latency...

I agree with Bateluer !

I don't care how fast my browser processes JavaScript. I'm just happy if my browser interprets JavaScript accurately, e.g. draws the screens correctly!

Being an amateur web dev, it's a PITA when you have to adjust your code for funky browsers like MSIE 6...

EDIT: BTW, Aberforth, this is NOT a slam against you. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
