Subject: Perf Comparison, Opera/IE/Netscape

I ran the page load tests on my 1.5ghz machine and got the following results.  This should give you an idea of where the current trunk stands relative to other browsers on a fast Win32 box.  K-Meleon 0.6 is used as a reference to indicate how much the trunk has improved just in the last few weeks! :)

K-Meleon 0.6  - 519ms
Opera 5       - 469ms
Mozilla 11/08 - 463ms
IE 6          - 321ms

If you're interested in the Mozilla/IE ratio, it comes out to about 1.44.  To highlight just how far we've come, Netscape 6.0 is more than 4 times slower than IE6.
