“As you can see from the graph above, Firefox 5 has made huge
improvements in its JavaScript engine. It is now much faster than
both Chrome and Opera. However, the difference is very small – just
30ms faster than Chrome and 8ms faster than Opera. So, finally
Firefox can no longer be considered a slow browser.

“Peacekeeper is yet another highly regarded test for the
JavaScript engine. Unlike the SunSpider test, Peacekeeper tests the
normal JavaScript applications such as animations, navigation,
forms etc. In this test, higher scores means better
performance.”
