“Yesterday we wrote about how you can make WebKit
default in Konqueror. We always knew that WebKit is going to make
Konqueror faster; but how much faster? Today we test that by
putting Konqueror with KHTML through the SunSpider JavaScript Test
and the then do the same with WebKit. To get an idea of how fast
they are compared to other browsers, we also decided to put Firefox
4.0 Beta 2 through the tests.

“As you can very clearly see, Konqueror with KHTML is more than
eight times slower that that with Webkit.”
