Ben,

 Thanks for the answers.

Since the use case has a lot of number crunching, the need for a faster Javascript engine was desired.

 Hoping for official support for V8 soon!

Cheers,
Vin

Nope, no official support yet.


c) Is the Qt bridge working with V8 engine?

I think it is supported for the types supported by QtScript, but not for the custom WebKit types (like QWebElement or transfering images).
(Just a guess from last time I checked the code really).


I don't know about the other questions. Andreas and Simon probably have the answers.

Note that V8 is not officially supported and is more of an idea we are playing with than something fully tested.

You would be surprised how little value V8 usually gives for real applications. The performance issues are more often in WebCore than in the JavaScript engine. I suggest you to profile your use case to make sure the JS engine has any impact on performance.

cheers,
Benjamin
