Default Firefox benchmark on Linux and M$
Went through this article in tuxradar.com

Benchmarked: Firefox Javascript on Linux and Windows - and it's not pretty | TuxRadar

And then here:

Browser benchmarks 2: even Wine beats Linux Firefox | TuxRadar

Some interesting facts.

Too technical for me to understand man. What does it all mean in a few sentences?

It took a long time to load first page, but worth it just to read first paragraph or so...

As you might have guessed from our domain name, TuxRadar.com, we're big fans of Linux. But being a fan of Linux doesn't necessarily make you a Linux fanboy - the kind of person who blindly ignores anything negative about their passion of choice as if that somehow made it better.

In fact, we think more Linux users need to admit there are some places where Linux isn't quite as good as its competitors.
Good advice for any linux/opensuse fanboys in the forum. Of course *cough, cough* not here...

Firefox 3 is faster on Windows XP than on Fedora Linux, and Firefox 3 is faster running under Wine on Fedora Linux.

The pictures are easier, didn't bother with tables. Hope that helps.

Not completely true it means javascript operations are quicker, V8 Benchmark Suite

My initial concern was this was outdated but I see the same I'm getting 176 in Linux FF and 317 in wine FF. Presently compiling an optimised FF but personally I'm not sure I'll see much difference. As I think this is more related to javascript on linux I may see if there is any differences vs openjdk.

I'm being owned by wine just got the latest 3.5 as the other was beta 4 now upto 407.

Hehe you know I'm not

Well tried a pgo optimised build and that has taken me to 266 so I guess that rules out java implementations.

To be fair people can only create there own benchmarks its more like testing gasoline rather than the car. But I'm definetly seeing an improvement in a PGO optimised build and still a better benchmark using wine.

@Caf

Well that is intriguing and sort of proves the point so what exactly are we measuring with google v8? Running sunspider wine and ff is destroyed by a PGO build of linux FF
wine ff = 1128
PGO build = 2519

For the curious and haven't got a clue what is needed for Suse(I see some mention of diff files) but it is swiftweasel.

Edit
Source here Index of /swiftweasel/swiftweasel-35/3.5.1-tar.gz/ but not sure how you go about the PGO stuff.
