I can't either (without going to a lot of effort) so here is a page comparing SpiderMonkey and Tamarin from someone with an adobe.com address: http://www.playercore.com/pub/Tamarin/Avmplus_vs._javascript.htm The median improvement for Tamarin over SpiderMonkey is better than 2:1 and for Tamarin with type declarations better than 4:1. There are some tests with much more noticeable results but overall we're not looking at C or Lisp compiler levels of performance even with type declarations.
