<div>platforms for comparing the latest versions</div><div>of Chromium, FireFox, IE, and Opera,</div><div><br></div><div>What's amusing is the performance difference due</div><div>to the testing platforms. There are often significant</div>
<div>speed differences for each browser on different</div><div>tests, and between windoz 7 and 8 for the same</div><div>test.</div><div><br></div><div>Chromium and FireFox both perform the best</div><div>overall. But the question is, what would happen</div>
<div>in, say, a comparison of the tests using windoz</div><div>8 and some version of Linux?</div><div><br></div><div>The question is largely rhetorical, since it would</div><div>take a lot of work to get an answer. Still, what</div>
<div>might cause the differences between windoz 7 and</div><div>8, and what would one guess would be the result</div><div>under Linux?</div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone seen such a comparison somewhere?</div><div><br></div>
<div>And of course there might well be big differences</div><div>with other packages on different testing platforms.</div><div><br></div><div> -- Bob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
