Hi

I am running the v8 benchmark suite from Chromium browser.
(http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v6/run.html)
Currently the browser version is 12.0.703.0.

But I still have not got any improvement on ARM platform for the V8
benchmark suite.

Which version of Chromium will include the crankshaft improvement for
V8 on ARM?

Thanks & Regards
Arun
