Open Source Days happens in Copenhagen, Denmark - 24th October 2009. We are going to be there talking about Pike, what it means to develop in Pike on an Open Source WebServer + release some Pike code into the wild...
Also - we have announced the second annual Webhaven User Conference to be held on the same day. Please see our home page for the announcement and instructions on how to get involved.

We wanted to know if innerHTML is worth keeping in some of our ajaxified sections in Jobtask... initially it looked to me from the tests that DOM methods are slower on IE/Opera & Firefox in latest versions. However, there was a big surprise waiting for us...
To our surprise, the clear winner appeared to be Safari 4. Not only is this browser faster at rendering DOM methods, it is so much faster there is really almost no excuse to not use it on OS X or Windows XP.

Follow the instructions on your browser of choice and see what you come up with...
All results on Windows XP installed on a Parallels virtual machine, with not huge amounts of ram...
I am not sure how to explain the significantly faster Safari - it is clearly miles ahead of the other 2 major browsers on the market.
Safari 4.
Method Time Average Time Index
Firefox 3.5
IE 8.0
We tested each browser alone, on a fresh reboot, and even tried opera and chrome (both were about the same as firefox3.5).
If anyone can confirm my results, please let me know. Safari is so much faster I actually can't believe it...

First great thing to be seen in Firefox 3.6 is the lightning speed at which it loads webpages, wow, it is snappy.
Infact, so snappy that my one-one thousand, two-one thousand test was left consistently at one...
I am looking forward to this release not because of the speed but because our users will experience our systems as they were intended - fast, responsive and consistent.
When Firefox 3.6 is released we already recommend you upgrade.

Note: the browser is so fast that the publish date of this article was set to NZT, a day into the future... It kinda felt right.
