Looks like Chrome is faster than the competition, the Javascript runs incredibly fast compared with the others (full details here http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10030888-92.html at cnet).

However, do we really need that speed of JavaScript?

It will certainly make the google web applications faster, as well as others.

But, do we really need that speed?
Then again, why should we put up with slow.
