Mozilla really needs to step it up. TraceMonkey is still way behind V8. They need to do something to get competitive with Chrome in terms of performance, or there's no possibility of ever switching back for me. Chrome is always 2-3x faster.
"Always" in my experience, anecdotally. I am sure there are some crafted benchmarks that favor Mozilla, but they're not really fair; in every real-life deployment I've seen personally, Chrome has crushed Firefox. There may be some edge cases where Firefox performs better, but Chrome is by far the faster browser for real-life browsing.
