Safari 3 Windows Performance Analysis
Evaluating Apple’s Browser Performance Claims in The Real World
On June 11th, Apple released a Windows beta version of its OSX web browser, Safari 3.0, claiming its the “fastest browser on Windows”. The claims were based on the results Apple found while running the iBench benchmark from Ziff Davis, with separate measurements for HTML, JavaScript performance, and application start time. While benchmarks are invaluable for performance evaluation, we set out to see if those claims would make a difference in actual browser usage.
