Incredible IE speed?

[SabaTime]

MAC OS X, Safari my result time was 52 secs on wireless internet

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

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?

[Ricardo Gil]

I must say it looks kind of easy to cheat. Almost got it in 5 minutes...

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

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?

[mcb]

for me:

IE 20.13 seconds

Opera 7.17 seconds <-- 24/502

(my system specs below)

Slick, stop filling up the ranking table plz :cry:

:p

[mika]

my first results of this morning were removed, too ! i know, i didnt cheat - so why do they delete entries ?

i made 2 new tests with firefox and opera.. and i'm first now

[Ricardo Gil]

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.

[ZTrang]

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!
