Test Notes

Name & URL Tester Date Firefox Performance - Speed Firefox Performance - Smoothness Firefox Performance - Responsiveness Notes and other Details
Bomomo Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU was sitting at approximately 50%, and showed no signs of lag. Visual components all seem to flow seamlessly. Using the first drawing tool the balls seem to be a bit behind on mouse movements. When tried out on Chrome, CPU use rose to 70% at idle, and a lot of lag occurred, Firefox seems to outperform Chrome on this experiment.
Kaleidscope Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU usage varied from 30-50% constantly. Ran smoothly, no jittery jumps. Might be a bug, the actual window seems to jerk around while trying to re-size. Chrome performed almost identically minus the re-sizing issue.
Vizeddit Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU sat at around 50%. The Reddit alien seemed to stutter a bit on the way down. As far as I could tell this experiment doesn't actually allow you to do anything. Chrome seemed to use 10-20% less CPU.
Amiga Workbench Emulator Andrew 9/16/2010 See Responsiveness. See Responsiveness. This experiment re-creates an old operating system, but upon "loading" it internally crashes, so I cannot actually test this one. Chrome loaded it and ran the experiment fine.
Wavy Scrollbars Andrew 9/16/2010 Experiment not available for Firefox. Experiment not available for Firefox. Experiment not available for Firefox. Runs smoothly in Chrome.
Javascript Canvas Raytracer Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU was stable at 50%. This is a rendering experiment, so it took time to render it, so the image appeared slowly. Experiment responded quickly. Chrome ran just as fast.
NotCanvas Andrew 9/16/2010 Doesn't seem to be an actual experiment just shows results from pre-rendered drawings. Doesn't seem to be an actual experiment just shows results from pre-rendered drawings. Doesn't seem to be an actual experiment just shows results from pre-rendered drawings. Same in Chrome
Internetris Andrew 9/16/2010 Low CPU usage (20%) Very smooth for Tetris. All controls were very responsive. Chrome ran exactly the same.
Starfield Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU sat at 50% Very smooth. Very responsive to mouse clicks. Chrome used up 20% more CPU.
physicSketch Andrew 9/16/2010 CPU sat at 50% Animations were very smooth. I encountered a problem when some of my drawings stopped showing up and I could not longer draw on the screen. It also seems to carry not allow me to draw anymore even if I reload the window, not sure if this is a problem on just my system. Did not get this error in Chrome.
