I have seen scores turned in by users which range from 8 seconds to an incredible 2.39 seconds for that site's javascript test, with all of these users running IE 6 on Windows XP. Well, when I run the test on my 2.8 GHz Windows XP machine with IE 6, I get between 14 and 15 seconds. I have no plugins at all installed, and no spyware, so my browser is about as lean as can be. Why can I not get these incredibly fast scores? Can anyone else get 2-3 seconds on that javascript test using IE 6? Because I cannot.

Maybe it's the result of the site owner's server. or maybe it's an AMD64. AMD64 > p4 2.8 :laugh:

Maybe ;) However, looking at the source, code, the benchmark is all javascript, so running off of the server doesn't seem like it would do much good (not THAT much good, anyway). I'm also not sure that the CPU speed will severely impact the final score, beyond a certain point. Weird... I wonder how they do it?

ah, nevermind, I never tried the test, I misread thought it said java

anywho, Firefox got me 11.2

and IE got 35.6 :o

WinXP, on Athlon XP 1.1ghz

Are you using SP2? I think the new security is slowing it down... I should run a test with SP1 security settings and see what it does.

Note I said "should" as I'm going to sleep now ;) Someone else can try this for me if they want (Y)

Nobody tried with Opera 7.51? You should see the results... it's extremely fast...IE coming in second and Firefox third.

So what? I still like Firefox, sticking with it... it is just a fraction of seconds that differentiate them.. call me hardcore firefox fan (but i am not). Why? Cause i like the features firefox has...

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
