Exactly. This browser "speed test" video is ludicrous, but it is pitched at the mainstream market audience specifically to create FUD (fear, uncertainty, division).

There is MUCH more to browser performance than a single "how fast does a web page load" example.

The N900 browsers (yes do keep in mind that Firefox runs on the N900 as well) are full featured browsers. Even MicroB with a little smaller feature set compared to FF 1.01 runs all javascript and css3 for example. This is more than even desktop browsers like the Internet Explorer 8 for example.

...talking of Internet Explorer, on the MS IE9 blog they recently showed a performance chart for their javascript engine and it was showing that it is now the fastest browser for rendering javascript...of course they did not mention that the IE9 still uses the same interpreter so it does not RUN a lot of the javascript that all other browsers do.

Ergo, 1) performance tests are almost always with an agenda, 2) bad performance tests like the posted one are just propaganda to unsettle the masses
