Re: Results of running perf tests on a few mobile browsers (Was: [minutes] Tuesday 2nd Sep teleconf)

I'm fed up with testing Javascript on mobile devices :-)

I think we can safely say that Javascript on mobile devices is pretty
painful. I'm looking forward to the next generation JITing engines:
* mozilla tracemonkey
* google v8
* apple squirrelfish extreme

Though Opera does perform quite well all things considered.

HTC Tytn II with Opera 9.5beta
V8 score: 5

I tried adding a next button on Sunspider for devices that get stuck:

Though I was wondering if anyone had a better idea of catching
Javascript errors? I don't think JS errors bubble up to the test
driver from the iframe.


Kind regards,
