I wonder how performance compares to other JavaScript engines.
At least in JS scenarios, the difference is nowhere near that. It's actually trading the first place with chrome between tests: https://arewefastyet.com/
As a CPU contributor, I demand that you give us stats as to which browsers were the fastest for your computation! This could be an interesting comparison point for the bundled javascript engines. (Maybe :))
outdated benchmark. Opera javascript is substantially faster now
Check out http://arewefastyet.com/ (the website mentioned in the article), which tracks javascript engine performance. Spidermonkey is faster than v8 and Safari's JSC on all three popular javascript benchmarks [1][1] Octane (google's benchmark), Sunspider (Apple/Webkit's benchmark), and Kraken (Mozilla's benchmark).
It runs much faster with Chrome and Safari due to their better Javascript VM.
It would be nice to have some rough performance numbers to compare with existing JS engines.
Javascript is jit? so it would be fair to compare the jit versions.
Why do you need THAT fast js for? Firefox is amazing speed even if second in the benchmarks.
For me faster.js was faster for 2 seconds then it became slower and slower in Firefox
