New Javascript Engine in WebKit [Nerd Stuff]
The latest nightly build of Webkit features a new Javascript Interpreter called SquirrelFish. Despite the weird name, the bottom line is that it is going to make Safari faster.
I put it to the test against the current official Safari build. Here are the results:
Current Safari Build
Latest Webkit nightly Build
As you can see, the latest nightly is way faster than the current Safari build. Also, SquirrelFish has yet to be speed optimized, so by the time these changes hit Safari, it will be even faster. This will effect Safari on all platforms including the iPhone.
To put this in perspective I ran the same tests with various browsers, here are the results:
Firefox 3 Beta: 417ms
Opera 9: 838ms
Firefox 1.5: 1974ms
Firefox 2: 1093ms
Internet Explorer 6: 1622ms
Internet Explorer 7: 2218ms

How did you test IE6/IE7?
How did you test IE6/IE7? For they do not run on OS X. Or did you test everything on Windows?

사파리가 더 빨라진다고 하네요.. 초고속 자바스크립트 엔진에서 파이어폭스 3.0rc1에 비해 거의 1.6~2.8 배 이상 빠르다고... IE에 비해서는 10배 이상. 이제 제발 어도비만 초치지 않으면......
