Re: Konqueror vs Firefox

[Brian <Brian.Mingus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I strongly advise against using Konqueror. Use Firefox 3. Here are some benchmarks I ran just yesterday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB RAM, Kubuntu

• Konqeuror, /usr/local
  
• Total time: 33711 ms
• Firefox 2, /usr/local
• Total time: 11970 ms
• Firefox 3, /usr/local
• Total time: 8174 ms
  
• 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, OSX.
• Firefox 2, defaults
• Total time: 14058 ms
• Firefox 2, browser.cache.disk.enable=false
• Total time: 14017 ms
• Safari 3, defaults
• Total time: 11508 ms
• 2GHz Core Duo, 1GB RAM, OSX
• Firefox 2, defaults
• Total time: 16623 ms
• Safari 3, defaults
• Total time: 13025 ms
• 3.4GHz P4, 2GB RAM, Windows Vista
• Firefox 2, defaults
• Total time: 23664 ms
• Firefox 2, browser.cache.disk.enable=false
• Total time: 24421 ms
• Internet Explorer 7, defaults
• Total time: 44719 ms
• mimime, 1.4Ghz PPC G4, 512MB RAM, OSX:
• Firefox 2, defaults
• Total time: 39302 ms
• Firefox 3, defaults
• Total time: 25760 ms
  
• Firefox 3, browser,cache.disk.enable=false
• Total time: 24213 ms
• mist, 1.8Ghz P4, 512MB RAM, Kubuntu:
• Firefox 2, home directory over NFS
• Total time: 51128 ms
• Firefox 2, profile on /usr/local_local
• Total time: 52147 ms
• Firefox 2, profile on /usr/local/local, browser.cache.disk.enable=false
• Total time: 41391 ms
• Konqueror, defaults
• Total time: 143797 ms
• Speed is obviously not Konqueror's strong point.
