    Ok, fine. Now how does this hardware acceleration looks in comparission to IE9 hardware acceleration or Opera’s software rendering?

    Didnt you cover this already? Or was I just delusional since Il’ve read it 100 million times today.
    Ohh boy.
     
    The only notable difference is the reader thing. Ohh and they re-intoruced the inlin loading thing. Bet you didnt read that on the interwebs.

    They boast their performance improvements and say they’re (again) the fastest browser there. I don’t have a mac but I do have win7.
    On sunspider I got 341 vs 310 in Opera 10.6.
    Peacekeeper I got 4252 vs 7378. It was about even on Data and DOM operations, but horribly behind in all others.  The Rendering test visibly stuttered even on the mid size color-changing squares thing. Wasn’t there supposed to be some hardware acceleration of graphics?
