935296 - (dromaeo) [WBGP] Investigate performance of Dromaeo benchmark

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

In Tom's Hardware Guide's June 2013 Grand Prix, Firefox 21 beat Chrome 27 on Dromaeo overall, but we are slower on some individual tests cases.

We have some existing bugs about Dromaeo perf.

On my MacBook Pro, Firefox 28 is significant slower that Chrome 32 on some test cases (but wins overall due to a couple extremely favorable results for DOM jQuery).

* Are these all known issues? I see that we have bugs for some of these test cases.
