    Apple built the Sunspider benchmarks in 2007, and along with Mozilla, they made dramatic real world performance improvements before Chrome was even publicly announced. https://webkit.org/blog/152/announcing-sunspider-09/ https://webkit.org/blog/214/introducing-squirrelfish-extreme... Chrome + V8 was already behind in real world performance, not ahead! http://www.satine.org/archives/2008/09/19/squirrelfish-extre... M…

    http://www.satine.org/resume/ Mine has been in HTML + CSS since about 1998 (over 12 years now, back then it was "XHTML") with CSS print styles. Everything inlined and very compact. Works great.

    it's a widely known issues. If you allocate objects in a user interface loop, you will force a periodic garbage collection, creating little "hiccups" in the user experience. The concurrent collector introduced in Gingerbread helps, but unnecessary work should always be avoided. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/performa... Why should I avoid garbage collection? When Dalvik does a GC, most of the ti…

    From watching videos of JooJoo, UI latency and scrolling performance are quite terrible. It seems that rendering is done on the CPU, when it should've been on a GPU accelerated compositor or tiled surface manager. That would probably save significant battery life (which we haven't heard anything about) and really kick ass at performance. SoC GPU + CPU combos are fairly inexpensive parts, but even the first gen iPhon…

    Don't forget the part where your brand-new custom framework needs to properly serialize and deserialize each value based on its type. Because according to this person: http://www.satine.org/archives/2007/12/13/amazon-simpledb/ ...Amazon's magical indexing technology is to make all searches lexicographical. So you have to "zero-pad your integers, add positive offsets to negative integer sets, and convert dates into s…

    CrunchPad competes with Apple in the portable computing market. TechCrunch is likely biased when reporting Apple and Google portable computing news, especially when reported by Michael Arrington. http://www.satine.org/archives/2009/08/22/the-real-truth-abo...
