I think that on this test, Opera generally completes it the fastest, with IE in second and Firefox taking up the rear. However, did you guys notice that the two fastest results (by "mrspeedy") were both removed from the list? Why is this? Does it just clear the list every day, or did these people cheat somehow?

Firefox was pretty slow, I think this was my second run.

Firefox 0.9, Windows XP, 1.80-1.89GHz 23.34 seconds, June 22, at 07:47:49

ranking: 270 out of 502 testers

IE 6 was a little faster but I closed the window. It might have been around 13. However, my Opera ROCKED:

Woot! Made top 5!

Complete System specs? :drools:

I tried two computers. I think both are running MS Java.

On the second one I used IE even though MyIE is my default browser.

Messed with the JScript, got this, but doesn't seem to be saving results :(

Um, did you cheat, or what?

I'm still not sure why/if this is a huge deal. Popup windows taking bit to pop up is good in my opinion. I freaking hate those flashy images, and If I need to count to 10,000 or get the dates for the next 100 Christmases I expect it to take a bit.

I would have expected the last machine I tested to be up there, but it still kinda sucked, so what gives?

Um, did you cheat, or what?

Just tried 'cause some results looked kind of cheesy. Wanted to find out if it was easy to cheat. I mean, guys with 100mhz systems doing about 6 seconds, and the pc I was in is a 2.4 ghz P4 that lasted ages to finish...

There are other factors besides Processing power.

It's incredibly easy to cheat, actually. I can get a very fast time just with some manipulation of the javascript used in the test. Look for a 4-second time coming soon... :p

Edit: check out Mr. Speedy's incredible four-second benchmark!

    • 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.
