I was looking at the Linux KDE numbers KJS where it is a lot slower.
I actually did not see the last number till later after the email

I was looking at the treecode branch.
Its impressive I did not believe it was possible to get a AST to
perform on par with bytecode you learn something every day
historically there 5-10 times slower.
Its seems I was wrong and gave the link to prove it :)
In this case Firefox1.5 on Linux with a score of 24 should be compared
to Safari 2.0 with a 22 and indeed the performance is on par.
Note that Opera is a 10. Now with a bytecode interpeter Webkit
should be down with Opera maybe even better.
In those results, Firefox on Linux and Safari on a PPC Mac aren't
running on comparable hardware, so no, I don't think the performance
is on par. I'll also note that current TOT WebKit is likely to be
significantly faster than Safari 2.0. Then again, Firefox trunk
nightly builds could be faster too, for all I know. Feel free to
rerun the benchmark yourself on newer versions, perhaps on an Intel
mac which should allow even cross-OS comparisons on comparable hardware.
