- lord2800, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Or how poorly optimized the iphone's javascript engine is.
- lord2800, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yes, because your touchy-feely "I think it's responsive so it is" kind of benchmarks are just _so_ much better than possibly inaccurate timings. Tell you what -- you write up an agnostic test library designed to test at least 4 standard features of javascript (anonymous object/function creation, iteration in all different loop forms, assignment, and string/regular expression speed) and THEN we'll talk. Until then, my comment about the state of the iphone's javascript engine stands as-is.
- streak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Or how poorly you'd like to believe it is, because an unscientific analysis doesn't mean jack. I've never had a smart phone that was as responsive as the iPhone. IMNSHO that accounts for more than an unfounded benchmark.
- lord2800, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As a matter of fact, no one expected the iphone to beat a desktop in a speed test. The catch is that the iphone is _considerably_ slower than the desktop, which is a problem. Think of it this way: if your desktop is a regular car, then the iphone is a bicycle with deflated tires, when it comes to running javascript. _That_ is the significance of comparing it to a desktop.

/sarcasm - rblinne, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's not the Mac comparison that is important but rather the comparison to UIKit.
- streak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's an indication of just how accurate the reported timings may be.
- vpeter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I know that I'll be dugg down for this, but my 200 MHz T-mobile MDA performed better than the iPhone.
