Test Notes
| Name & URL | Tester | Date | Firefox Performance - Speed | Firefox Performance - Smoothness | Firefox Performance - Responsiveness | Notes and other Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twitch | Kevin Lasconia | 09/16/2010 | No noticeable speed differences between browsers. | No noticeable smoothness differences between browsers. | Both browsers appear to be equally responsive to the mouse clicks. | The only glaring difference between the browsers for this experiment is the CPU usage. Firefox ranged from 20% - 24% CPU usage while Chrome range from 10% - 15% CPU usage. |
| Browsermation | Kevin Lasconia | 09/16/2010 | The animation at full speed (Holding down Ctrl+Tab) appeared to be faster in Chrome | The animation at full speed appeared more fluid/smooth in Firefox. It is "jerky" in Chrome. | When switching between tabs, Chrome appeared to have a faster response time. | It appears to be speed vs. smoothness in this experiment. The CPU usage can also reflect this. At full speed Firefox ran at 49% - 54% CPU usage. Chrome on the other hand had a fluxuating CPU usage of 51% - 93%! |
| Browsertalk | Kevin Lasconia | 09/16/2010 | When I talked, the "mouth" appeared to move at similar speeds in Firefox, and Chrome. However, when launching the experiment Chrome started considerably faster then Firefox. | The "talking" animation appeared smoother in Chrome when it picked up my voice. | There seemed to be a slight delay from when I talked and when the mouth moved in Firefox. Chrome seemed to be more responsive. | Overall, I think Chrome outperformed Firefox for this experiment. CPU usage for both browsers were similar. |
| Domtris | Kevin Lasconia | 09/16/2010 | No noticeable speed differences between browsers. | No noticeable smoothness differences between browsers. | Both browsers were equally responsive when changing the direction of the block, and dropping the block. | Both browsers performed equally. CPU usage was relatively low for this experiment in both browsers. |
