Comment on Javascript TRS-80 Performance: Firefox, IE9 still slowparent

He meant that, as far as the tests in the main article, Webkit has nothing to do with the results. Chrome uses the V8 javascript engine, Safari uses the Nitro javascript engine, while the webkit project are building their own javascript engine - Squirellfish.

Nitro is what Squirrelfish was renamed in Apple's marketing materials after they shipped it in Safari.

I know. And they all perform very similarly under most conditions (now. Not in the past.). And they're all near the top of all the charts all the time.
