Your stopwatch test would only be in Konq's favor for sites that didn't use _javascript_. Every single time Konq has to process _javascript_, you're going to be waiting.

Konqueror, but as you noted that this for _javascript_ only. And I have
to say, I seriously doubt the usefulness of this test. I know for a
fact that Firefox on my Fedora machines is significantly _slower_ than
Konqueror at rendering pages -- which to me is more important than
rendering _javascript_.
I don't mean to stress this too much, but Firefox on F7 lead me to
stop using my desktop machine for casual browsing of the internet.
When ever I need to visit webpages on my desktop, or develop web apps
from my desktop, I almost exclusively use Konqueror.
I strongly suggest that you try this rendering test instead:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/innerhtml.html
This shows Konqueror about twice as fast at rendering than Konqueror.
And if I were to do a stop watch rendering test I know that Firefox
would fail miserably in comparison to Konqueror.
Also, I am not alone:
