IE8 Brief Performance
so it got released yesterday and there’s a lot of speculation regarding performance, so I just briefly timed the load timed of a few of my favorite sites:
| ie | ff | |
|---|---|---|
| wordpress | 8 | 15 |
| 8.8 | 9.1 | |
| xs forums | 9.6 | 13 |
| cnn.com (uncached) | 18 | 28.2 |
| myspace | 5 | 8 |
| myspace login | 27 | 26.7 |
IE8 seems to do okay, my tests arent super scientific or even done properly, just a quick test between the latest stable FF3 and IE8 on my machine. The memory usage of IE8 seems crazy tho: 60mb for two tabs across 2 processes. Earlier it was sitting at around 210mb for 3 tabs open with 4 processes running.
I’m sure they’ll be some in depth performance reviews in the future, and I’ll be looking forward to it…
