That is a very good summary. It was also mentioned by András Tarsoly @ Ajaxian. If you are the same, then double kudos :-) Henrik: No, this does not mean that we have to code everything in C#. It means that (a) the browser vendors should enhance their products now that they are used for things the browsers were not intended for in the first place and (b) in the xApp/Web 2.0/AJAX world it will be again important to think about how we write our code to keep it performant (an infinite loop can bog down an infinitely strong system in any language, anyway:-).

It took me 1m 40s to switch from Beginner to Expert in FF1.5.0.1, using 70% of CPU capacity. (I got Intel Prescott 3.4 GHz, 1 GB DDR2 RAM) The other 30% was used by AVG-antivirus. Conclusion - use C# if you wanna produce a mine-sweeper game. This really shows how very inefficient JavaScript is.

In my projects which are targeted toward slower machines, I find Moz to be faster. For example I create 500 instances of an object which as properties. In IE it takes 1.4 seconds to 2.4 seconds depending on the speed of the machine, in Moz it takes 233ms to 400ms. Now I find that if you have arrays and set then with object references (ex: myObj.children.push(anotherObject) ) that’s whats slows IE down. Without the array Object Refs IE runs the 500 instances at 730ms which si still slower than Moz but I can live with it. Does anyone else have this problem with arrays and object refs????
