Google Maps based benchmark for browsers?
browser, google-maps, javascript
Solution
You may want to consider the benchmark data for the tests carried out in this article:

Chrome and Safari end up on top in 5 out of 6 tests, while IE8 ranks last for all tests except one. Make sure to check the above mentioned article for the details of each test.
Problem
Anyone knows if there is any benchmark done to browsers in a "google maps" test suite? Google Maps with lots of markers and data can really get slow so maybe this was an interesting "real world" benchmark that stresses javascript / DOM management in browsers :)
