Great, Another Internet Explorer
Just saw an article on ZDNet in which they benchmark the javascript performance of IE8 RC1 with other browsers. Sadly, it looks like Microsoft’s javascript engine doesn’t perform very well at all. Having moved to primarily javascript development, my first reaction is to take my face and plant it firmly in my palm.
I’m sure Microsoft will try to make up for this lack of speed with extremely aggressive caching…
