browser performance

[os64dev]

Man i knew that IE sucks with javascript, png and such but that it sucks this bad i never thought. Why do so many people use this browser. * sigh *

I am currently busy writing a DHTML framework making an abstraction layer between HTML/Javascript/PHP and webpages. Something in the likes of prototype. Think of it if you want to create and image you have a call 'var img = WebGUI.Factory.CreateImage('root');' and it creates an image object which you can manipulate. And i came across some performance issues regarding IE so i decided to make a test. The old fire demo to see how it performed. Follow the link in my signature to see it in action.

Code: Select all

IE     : 2 fps
Opera  : 21 fps
Firefox: 32 fps
Safari : 31 fps

Anyone ideas to increase performance ?

Ditch IE. My laptop's performance is 21 for FF and 1 for IE.

Amen. I've had horrible experiences with IE as well. I can never seem to get my web site to work with it. It makes you wonder why a huge cooperation like Microsoft can't fix their bloody browser.

Or why so many web developers omit a line of code making it incompatible with firefox!

Because Frontpage tells them to

I once used IE, but then I learned something.
