Mozilla showcases power of TraceMonkey wrt Google Chrome V8
Today has been all about the just launched Google Chrome web browser which features ultra fast V8 JavaScript engine.
Mozilla has been working on their new updated engine codenamed TraceMonkey.
It would be included in the upcoming Firefox 3.1 version.
The developers have now made available some statistics showcasing TraceMonkey’s performance against V8.
And as expected, they are claiming that it is much faster than Google’s V8 engine.
Google Chrome remains one of the fastest web browsing options available in the market right now.

Did you read anything in my blog at http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/?
Not only did I *not* claim that TraceMonkey “is much faster than Google’s V8 engine”, I went out of my way to show where V8 won in the SunSpider testsuite, and talk about the current trade-offs in our approach, and the nature of the ongoing TraceMonkey work.
What will it take to end such inaccurate “We Win! They Lose!” sports-idiocy misrepresentation of reality in the coverage of this unfolding, fascinating, and far-from-over JavaScript performance evolution story?
Get it right: JavaScript performance (only part of web app performance) is not being settled for good by any particular hype-event.
V8 is not slower than TraceMonkey in general, nor is TraceMonkey slower than V8 — it depends on the benchmark. We happened to win last night on a particular popular JS benchmark, contrary to claims about V8 being fastest by far. We believe our approach will scale better. We are not out of the running just because of hype about our “guaranteed” slowness. That’s all.
Thanks for listening.

Google Chrome is really fast!
Now I can sort 200,000 records inside of Browser (Chrome) just in 1 sec. (Faster than Microsoft Excel):
