After I removed this plugin from the computers on my network nearly all IE crashes ceased. You don’t really need the plugin as you can download and view pdf documents without this plugin.

Now, Tamarin won’t be avail. for quite some time, either in FF or IE, no luck there, so FF will continue to be a memory/cpu hog for quite some time.

Anyways, Safari has now 50% faster javascript execution, and Opera Kestrel.. heh is the holy grail of speed and resource usage.

Hope there’ll be a mass migration to Opera, they’re doing a great job with Opera Link and Opera browser(desktop & mobile).

BTW, about those tests, my machine isn’t very powerful, the MD5 test results were:
FF: 8.883 seconds for 3000 hashes (338 hashes/second)
Opera 9.5(beta build 9649): 1.742 seconds for 3000 hashes (1722 hashes/second)

On the referred page Webkit 3 took 3.794 sec to perform the MD5 test, and I’m guessing he’s got better hardware than me, so.. you know that that means.
