Test Notes

Name & URL	Tester	Date	Firefox Performance - Speed	Firefox Performance - Smoothness	Firefox Performance - Responsiveness	Notes and other Details
111 Noise Field	Chris	Sept 14 2010	Does not seem to be choppy or have any lag	Graphics rendered smoothly but, the shapes leave permanent dark trails behind them that stand out from the background	Other Minefield windows are responsive	The animations of the shapes in chrome seemed to slow significantly when the window was not the focus of the mouse pointer, but it was not a problem in minefield.
112 Keylight	Chris	Sept 14 2010	Begins to slowdown and skip when lot of dots are placed on the screen. (happens in chrome too)	all the objects are rendered with the same quality as in Chrome	no noticeable difference in other windows response time.	-
113 Breathing Galaxies	Chris	Sept 14 2010	I did not see any trouble with the speed of the animations.	Minefield had no trouble animating the shapes	No slowdown in response time in other windows.	identical performance, from what i observed.
114 Cubescape	Chris	Sept 14 2010	Speed was good. no slowdowns.	the only trouble i noticed was the animations of the blocks shadows as they fell. in chrome it was smooth and matched the location of the block but in minefield the shadow lagged and left marks on screen where it had been. the marks disappear when the block stops bouncing	did not affect other windows response time	-
115 Sinuous	Chris	Sept 14 2010	Firefox performed at a faster fps than chrome in this experiment	graphics and animations were smooth in both browsers	other windows were still responsive	-
116 Color Piano	Chris	Sept 14 2010	frame rate was good. the colours made from the pressed keys slow down and get choppy if many keys are pressed in succession, a lot more so than with chrome	after a colour disappears, you can see a shadow of it in the background that doe snot disappear like in chrome	no change in responsiveness	-
117 Sand Trap	Chris	Sept 14 2010	good frame rate in firefox, no noticeable difference from chrome	I noticed a difference in the size of the rendered particles of sand in firefox. they were much bigger than the particles in chrome	no change in responsiveness	Filed a bug. the sand particles freeze when one leaves the screen in firefox.
118 3DTin	Chris	Sept 14 2010	the rotate and zoom in Firefox lagged behind the speed of them in chrome	Graphics rendered in just the same quality as chrome	still responsive.	-
119 Plasma	Chris	Sept 14 2010	constant 50 fps, but drops to 20-30 fps if another firefox window is in the foreground.	The colours were rendered very blocky compared to chrome, which blended the lines toghether.	other windows were still responsive	-
120 The Wilderness Downtown	Chris	Sept 14 2010	firefox had good speed. during the postcard drawing section, when drawing or typing, several video are supposed to loop as you go, but they do not play at all and/or skip a lot.	The rendered graphics were smooth.	other windows still responsive	Lots of problems with this one. the Chrome nightly could not even play the experiment and crashed on page load. (every time) firefox loaded the search bar maybe 1/3 times you try to load the page. then once you enter the address 1/5 times the load process freezes and forces you to reload. the video is fine from then, up until the drawing tool appears. You are supposed to be able to write a letter using the keyboard, but many letters don't appear properly (see here). as well, when you type/draw with the mouse, the videos at the bottom don't play or skip a lot.
