I'm really looking forward to see what Crankshaft does on Mozilla's Kraken benchmark:

Supposedly, Kraken has more long-running, sophisticated algorithms (like 'gaussian blur') that are kinder to TraceMonkey's tracing JIT than V8's traditional JIT; if V8 now has a tracing JIT (or something that works much along the same principles, it could be that Kraken becomes a two-horse race.

View on HN

Chrome 9.0.587.0 dev: http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/kraken-1.0/results.html?%...

Chromium 10.0.605.0 (68575) with Crankshaft: http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/kraken-1.0/results.html?%...

Overall Crankshaft is 2.13x FASTER.

Ubuntu 10.04, old Core 2 Duo.

On my machine:

Chromium 10.0.604.0 (without Crankshaft): http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/kraken-1.0/results.html?%...

Firefox/4.0b8pre from 20101208: http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/kraken-1.0/results.html?%...

Overall, Firefox is 2.08x faster.

Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64, on a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz

Comparing these with your results, it sounds like the JS performance war just got interesting again.

Huh, that's strange Firefox nightly here is slower than Crankshaft:

I did mention my Chrome test was without Crankshaft - I'm using x86_64, and Crankshaft isn't available for that platform yet.

Doing the comparison thing, apparently TraceMonkey is ~1.2x slower than Crankshaft on your machine. Things are hotting up indeed!

Chrome with Crankshaft (which is currently only for 32-bit architecture) is faster on Kraken than Firefox nightly.
