SquirrelFish Extreme: Fastest JavaScript Engine Yet

September 19th, 2008

After reading the WebKit SquirrelFish Extreme announcement, I figured it’s time to revisit the JavaScript engine / web browser race once again.

In short: SquirrelFish Extreme is fastest by a whopping 35% over its nearest competitor, making WebKit the fastest browser once again. Let’s see how the numbers come out.

SunSpider Benchmark Comparison of JavaScript Engines

SunSpider running from the command line (to ensure the test is as pure as possible) was used for this test. My test system is a 2.4GHz iMac.*

These graphs are shown in runs per minute for clarity. Longer bars are better.

The raw timings are:

Detailed timings are linked above.

Of course, browsers are not purely executing JavaScript – DOM and rendering speeds are performance considerations as well. For this, we turn to Mozilla’s Dromaeo benchmark.

Dromaeo on Windows

As you can see, Firefox and WebKit smoke Google Chrome on this benchmark. WebKit comes out slightly ahead, so we need another benchmark to clear things up. Once again, Dromaeo, but on OS X now.

The full timings for these benchmarks are here:

Dromaeo on Mac OS X

Full timings for these benchmarks are here:

  • Firefox Nightly on OS X – 6648.20ms (Total)
  • WebKit Nightly on OS X – 4387.20ms (Total)
  • Winner: WebKit + SquirrelFish Extreme

    SquirrelFish Extreme wins this evolutionary cycle. Stay tuned for more coverage as Google, WebKit and Mozilla prepare their next moves.

    Running your own SunSpider tests

    Download and build WebKit trunk, Firefox trunk, and V8 trunk:

    Building SquirrelFish Extreme: from JavaScriptCore, make release

    Building V8: scons sample=shell

    Building Tracemonkey: from js/src, run make -f Makefile.ref BUILD_OPT=1

    Run the SunSpider harness from WebKitTools/SunSpider: SquirrelFish Extreme: ./sunspider --shell=../../WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/jsc

    V8: ./sunspider --shell=../../v8-edge/shell --args=-expose-gc

    TraceMonkey: ./sunspider --shell=../../tracemonkey/js/src/Darwin_OPT.OBJ/js --args="-j"

    Notes

    • The Windows benchmarks ran on different test hardware from the Mac OS X and engine benchmarks.

  2. Damian Cugley Says:

    Your charts show Safari Windows at 7.9 to and Safari on OS X at 13.7 — are these on the same hardware? On the face of it it looks like there is something surprisingly slow about the Windows version…

  3. oliver Says:

    Who cares for JS speed as long as the browser can be crashed by Flash content.

  4. ethana2 Says:

    Yay progress!

  5. Charles Ying Says:

    Damian: Oops, no the Windows test system is on different (slower) hardware. I suppose I should try it on the same hardware, but I don’t have Bootcamp on this iMac. I’ll try a Parallels version soon and post the results here.

  6. coolfactor Says:

    @oliver

    It sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder. There’s plenty that can contribute to an unstable browser. If you can point me to a flash file that will crash a given browser every time for everyone, then your point will stand. If it only affects your system, then you have somewhere to start to solve the problem.

    Way to go WebKit Team! This is fantastic. 280slides.com runs amazingly well in the latest WebKit nightly.

  7. Andy Says:

    Maybe Oliver’s point was that Adobe should pull their fingers out of their buts and do some optimisation of Flash on Mac OS X. It that wasn’t Oliver’s point, then it can be mine instead.

  8. Jon Says:

    Why don’t you include IE8 in these benchmarks? As a web developer I am loving the focus on javascript performance for the next generation of browsers, but IE is always a [limiting] factor in terms of knowing how far I can push the browser.

  9. WebKit Team Introduces SquirrelFish Extreme | FarukAt.eş Says:

    […] WebKit, with SquirrelFish Extreme, has jumped back in the lead among browsers and it’ll only be a matter of time before we see the next jump ahead. Some more benchmarks and comparisons to other browsers are available on Cameron Zwarich’s blog and on Charles Ying’s blog. […]

  10. Enola Says:

    Jon:

    IE8 is ~ 10 times slower than the others. So it doesn’t really qualify for this benchmark.. It would only make the bar graph unreadable.

  11. Another Jon Says:

    I think Oliver was talking about Chrome’s independent process model that lets Chrome survive Flash crashes, as well as any others for plugins. Which would be nice to see in Safari.

    Speed is not everything and we are not suckers for browsing speed. We want functionality! We want tools that make our lives easier on the Net! Give us a super smart browser! That’s what we really want from you!…

  14. Vincent Says:

    It would indeed be nice to see a slower (e.g. IE) JS engine compared to it, even if its bar is so small it’s unreadable. It’d be a great demonstration of the amount of progress made in a small amount of time.

  17. buddyglass Says:

    I’m not sure what sort of system you used, but when I tested the three browsers on Windows XP running on a 2.4ghz P4, I found that Chrome totally smoked FF and Safari 4.0 (not using Squirrelfish Extreme) on Dromaeo.

    FF was approximately twice as slow as Chrome, and Safari 4.0 was approximately 1.33x as slow as FF.

    Chrome also performed ridiculously better on Google’s own V8 tuning benchmark:

    http://code.google.com/apis/v8/run.html

  18. Charles Ying Says:

    buddyglass: Safari 4.0 (I assume you’re using 4.0 Developer Preview) is not the latest version of Safari + WebKit. The 3 browsers I’m comparing are using the latest nightly builds taken from last night, 2008-09-18. I’d be interested to see your comparison using the latest builds on your system.

  19. buddyglass Says:

    True, the Safari 4.0 beta didn’t have the latest version of Squirrelfish. But I was using a nightly build of FF3.1 as of approximately 3 weeks ago, and testing vs. the initial release of Chrome. You have FF handily beating Chrome on Dromaeo, which was the reverse of what I saw. I’ll download nightlies of FF and Webkit, and test vs. the latest Chrome, on SunSpider, Dromeaeo and Google’s V8 tester.

  20. buddyglass Says:

    So I just finished testing, and my results match up more with yours than with what I remember from the last round of testing I did. Now that I think of it, though, I may have done my earlier tests on an iMac (Core 2 Duo) running XP inside a Parallels VM. Maybe Chrome takes better advantage of the two cores on that system? Or maybe I’m just on crack. Here are my results, with links:

    Webkit: r36682 (9/20) + Safari 3.1.2 (525.21) Minefield: 3.1b1pre (9/20), JIT Enabled Chrome: 0.2.149.30

    SunSpider: Webkit: 2814.0ms (http://tinyurl.com/4fwloh) Minefield: 2767.4ms (http://tinyurl.com/4z8gv4) Chrome: 3316.8ms (http://tinyurl.com/3osox2)

  55. Jay Godse Says:

    This is interesting because it shows how fast Javascript can go. All we need now is a good web framework similar to Rails or Django, but based on JS. Then server-side JS can take off.

    One thing these tests don’t take into account is when you have multiple tabs open in FF or IE, memory does leak a lot, and one hung script can bring down all tabs. Just like Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 from 15 years ago. Because of this, I still prefer Google Chrome because of its one-process-per-tab model. However, many browsers will do the same within the next 18 months, and then JS speed will become the next performance factor.

  63. Carl Says:

    FYI, I’m developing a Javascript-heavy Google Web Toolkit app (my first one) and Chrome is far, far faster than Opera, Firefox or IE8.

    Case in point: When I initially wrote the code, I was using the (Java) split() method on a large string containing 180,000 delimiter-separated substrings to create a 180,000-element Javascript String array. Chrome completed that in less than a second, and Opera completed it more slowly, but still completed it. But Firefox and IE completely hung during the parsing of the string into that array. Their memory went up, up, up to about 1.5 GIGAbytes and then crashed downward to 50 MB. So, maybe they were doing some kind of dynamic array allocation (during the incremental construction of that array) which did not scale well, and that generated intermediate data that did not get cleaned up until the split() command had completed (and so, it never did complete, because the browser ran out of memory).

    When I re-wrote the code to pre-allocate the entire array of strings, and then added my own code to parse the string into that pre-allocated array myself, all browsers were able to load it, although Chrome remained much faster than the others.

    The speed increases on a page reload also seem greater than would be due solely to the caching of downloaded page content, and so it occurs to me that Chrome might be caching the intermediate Javascript objects somehow, in addition to the downloaded content of the page. Whatever it is doing, it is very impressive.

    I would add as a Chrome user that there is nothing faster than Chrome that I have tried. I haven’t tried Squirrelfish yet, and perhaps never will, since my applications are aimed at the general public. But if I were developing something for internal use and could control the browsers that clients were using, or wanted to embed a browser in an application, then perhaps Squirrelfish would be a good choice.

  64. Carl Says:

    OK, excuse my ignorance, but I’m still not certain whether Squirrelfish is incorporated into the Safari 4 public beta. So, if it is, then, contrary to what I said above, of course I’ll be testing with it, since Safari’s market share is quite a bit larger than Chrome’s.

    I will say that for my particular application, which has some very heavy Javascript processing as it indexes (on the client side) almost 180,000 words, Chrome runs the indexing (after the raw string data has been cached by the browser) in under one second, while Safari 4 takes almost 3 seconds. So, Chrome seems to be about three times as fast for this app, which is mostly Javascript processing.

    The bottom line for developing public Web pages of course is to support every browser that has a substantial user base, so the issue of relative speed is somewhat academic. But, speaking academically, V8 seems to be a very good engine.

    Thanks for sharing this, and here is a question. How did you enable the extreme version of SquirrelFish? My understanding is, checking out the nightly of webkit and building it by default will generate the old version SquirrelFish instead of SquirrelFish Extreme. I also followed your direction to build and test SquirrelFish Extreme vs. V8 with SunSpider. I was using a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, SquirrelFish (Extreme?) spent 448ms, and V8 spent 446ms. That’s another reason that I think that I was running the old SquirrelFish. Comments? Thanks!
