4-way HTML5 speed test: Firefox 3.7 faster than Internet Explorer 9 (video)
# 1 Firefox # 2 IE 9 # 3 Opera # 4 Chrome also performs very poorly !!
Both Firefox and IE9 use Direct2D to utilize the GPU's rendering power -- so it's probably no surprise that they both show very similar results. It's most apparent when comparing CPU use; IE9 and FF3.7 are both miles ahead in performance, but both show the lowest CPU utilization!
