Lucian -- what Jonas and I are trying to say is: even if gecko is
(was?) by less "performant" than webkit on a standard machine and
using gecko's default settings, you _have_ to test tuned gecko vs
tuned webkit.

"Out-of-the-box" performance isn't what matters to the end user.

I agree with you, the usual perception is that opera and webkit
engines are faster / lighter than gecko. But right now, gecko-based
Browse.xo is noticeably faster than opera.

Can you prepare a hand-tuned webkit-based Browse.xo so a reasonable
comparison can be made?

cheers,
