> Are more strict html parsers/renderers, and aren't they faster?
Are what more strict? You're missing a subject there.
At a guess, you're referencing the differences between Chrome/Firefox rendering times? And are surprised that Chrome is always slower?
In the same completely unscientific stat taking, I found that Chrome was significantly faster at parsing the HTML head element of a document than Firefox, and that difference was enough for Chrome to pull ahead of Firefox in overall rendering times for smaller pages. (Chrome was about 30% of Firefox's time spent in the head.)
However, Firefox was faster at parsing the body, and as I had a larger-than-usual body (50k words is not your average webpage), Firefox was overall faster.
