Us owners of old slow PC's could really use that speed boost, and currently K-Meleon is the only browser many of us can run. The current trend on the internet to overscript pages is killing a lot of us. Hopefully TraceMonkey will fix that and allow us to use sites we currently can't.

Very impressive. Especially the 4x speed boost against FF3 in Mozilla's own test :) http://jrm.cc/articles/717-google-chrome-javascript-benchmarks I found a few other benchmark suites too and I must say, I’m pretty much sold on the performance boost V8 delivers.
