Type in the MacNN forums address and post your time and the browser you used.

I got 2.4 s with Safari, 4.7 with Camino (HTTP pipelining enabled), and 6.8 with IE.

I got a second or two faster with Camino for every site I checked. IE lagged far behind both Safari and Camino.

1.258 with latest Camino nightly build

2.289 with Safari

I didnt need this to tell me that Camino rocks.

Heh. Test with www.apple.com, Safari should have the advantage.

1.375 Camino
1.667 Safari

I know, not much, but funny.

www.versiontracker.com
2.953 Camino
4.790 Safari

Does this test actually work?

yeah, I tried 4.1 but scrapped it as it didn't work and was to lazy to get 4.2, glad I didnt' bother.

Which page are we testing here? This thread or the main forum?

I'm sure most people used this thread link as a testing which is not a good idea. This thread will expand and it'll take more time to load.
