I think Maciej's earlier message about this topic did an excellent job
of explaining the different issues here. I just wanted to add that as
far as I can tell, the howtocreate link below seems to show that
Safari 2.0 is faster than Firefox in every listed category other than
"Multiple images", in which Firefox 1.5 is a little faster than Safari
2.0. For "Script speed" it gives:
Firefox 1.0 (krmathis) 53
Firefox 1.0 72
Firefox 1.5 40
Safari 2.0 27
where lower numbers are faster.
So I'm not sure why you claim that this page shows Firefox as
significantly faster on scripts than Safari.

It does look like the khtml engine itself is quite fast so the
combination of SpiderMonkey with
WebCore should make a very fast browser.
Again please prove that KJS is faster then SpiderMonkey everything I
finds shows not only is this not true but it is significantly slower.
I see no reason that the proposal to integrate SpiderMonkey slim it
down and do a little performance tunning is not valid and resonable
approach. I see no reason to start from scratch on a new interpeter.
Finally I think this benchmark should be run agianst webkit/IE/Firefox
and the results should be on the website it would be helpful. It took
me a while to find a page with a reasonable set of results.
