And since it's not exactly slow either, performance on memory-limited scenarii is best in Firefox than in many other browsers. If not, it'll recompute at need - including the UI. If there's RAM to spare, Firefox will cache precompiled elements for fast reuse later on. It is actually a complete, highly versatile, and highly complex piece of software, indeed a programming environment that can run on pretty much anything (Firefox 3.6 can still run comfortably on a computer with 128 Mb of RAM, due to its memory manager) - and it shows: everything you see is actually interpreted code. Let's get things straight: although Firefox put the hurt on IE for performance reasons when it came out, Gecko is *by design* not made for speed - but versatility.įirefox uses Gecko for everything: the UI, page rendering, running add-ons, etc. if performance was the only consideration. I myself would probably switch to Chrome too. The benches are nothing new, however the runs are complete and the picture they draw is accurate.
