According to that test, Firefox is significantly faster than Konqueror, but as you noted that this for Javascript only. And I have to say, I seriously doubt the usefulness of this test. I know for a fact that Firefox on my Fedora machines is significantly _slower_ than Konqueror at rendering pages -- which to me is more important than rendering Javascript. I don't mean to stress this too much, but Firefox on F7 lead me to stop using my desktop machine for casual browsing of the internet. When ever I need to visit webpages on my desktop, or develop web apps from my desktop, I almost exclusively use Konqueror. I strongly suggest that you try this rendering test instead: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/innerhtml.html This shows Konqueror about twice as fast at rendering than Konqueror. And if I were to do a stop watch rendering test I know that Firefox would fail miserably in comparison to Konqueror.
