I think our sales engineers are planning on taking a closer look at your benchmark – to see what we can do. We’ll keep in touch!

I’d be interested in learning the environment but if anyone in the Curl community is able to create one I’d also post it.

Would you consider adding Curl to your benchmark? We’ve demonstrated that Curl is 10 times faster than Flash/Flex in JPEG compression tests which you can learn more about at the following URL:

http://www.curl.com/company_news052808.php

A little background. Curl was first created in 1998 and has constantly evolved since that time to become, imo, the fastest most secure RIA platform available today. It provides rich 2D and 3D graphics, both a browser-based and desktop-based runtime environment, and has been deployed by over 300 very large corporations for mission critical enterprise RIA deployments.

Although the technology was developed at MIT (our offices are still in that area) Curl had been used mostly in Asia. It was just introduced to the united states last year.

All the best,

Richard Monson-Haefel
VP of Developer Relations
Curl, Inc.

Had to close a few initially before I ran the tests.
What I found interesting was my hyperthreading CPU and FF3b5 didn’t use the threads as evenly as did Flash or the best; Java which was dead even for both threads. When FF3b5 hit near 90% with the first thread, the second was only ~50% but I really noticed the image get choppy. Multicore may get even more interesting. :)

FF3b5 5.46
Flash in FF3b5 9.04
Java in FF3b5 8.96
Moonlight 0.6 (Silverlight 1.0) Failed to detect moonlight (FF3 issue I believe)
Moonlight 0.6 (Silverlight 2.0 beta) Failed with a blank screen [Moonlight loaded]

Midori (Webkit) ~19*
Opera9.27 ~19*
Konqueror ~7.5*

*Flash plugin failed to load to show exact results.

The above machine with Virtualbox running Windows XP@1024×768:
FF2 8.4
Flash in FF2 11.75
Java in FF2 9.15

Get this; after upgrading FF2 on the Virtualboxed XP to FF3RC1:
FF3RC1 3.69
Flash in FF3RC1 14.84
Java in FF3RC1 10.27

I was watching my CPU for usage through all this and repeated tests.
Midori was by far the smoothest on the eye while Opera the worst.
3.0GHz -> 3.4GHz manual clocking of the CPU had no noticeable impact upon results.
Official ATI Drivers for Linux were slightly slower than the open source Radeon drivers.
