Did a couple of benchmarks in Peacekeeper and SunSpider using:
- Iron v7.0.520.0 Stable
- Chrome v7.0.517.41 Stable
Peacekeeper: (

Overall summary:
Iron detailed:
Chrome detailed:
SunSpider: (

Conclusion:
Eventhough they run on (exactly) the same Chromium engine, SRWare's Iron seems to be faster. Good job SRWare, keep it up like this and try to get a hold of that number 1 position!
Note: These tests have
NOT been done by professionals, but on the same hardware. (i5-450M @ 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR3, 500GB 7.200RPM, Radeon HD5870 1GB DDR5)

Yeah indeed, I am sometimes wondering what makes me stick with Firefox haha. Soon I will test the latest Firefox beta release.
If there's anyone else that wants to see an untested browser tested, ring a bell!

Can you tray with K-Meleon-NX-1.9.1.12. The fast NX No-chrome concept is used here, and you can download it fron here:
http://drop.io/eichhein/asset/km-nx-19112-zip
The profiles folder will be created inside the K-Meleon main folder, and should leave profiles from other versions untouched.
Note : This version works only if you have the files mfc71u.dll, msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon folder. If you need these files, look for them in the internet.
Regards.

Here is a little other benchmark made with the latest versions of the browsers I use. Looks like Firefox are still working on their speed in v4, and Iron is tied with Opera 11 alpha 1029.

Specs:
- Phenom 2 X4 Mobile N930
- Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GiB VRAM with Catalyst 10.8
- 4 GiB RAM
- Windows 7 Enterprise x64 up-to-date
