Comment on Generational Garbage Collection in Firefoxparent

The state of browser benchmarking isn't good.

You can delete the word "browser" from that sentence and it's still true. Just one example: You wouldn't believe how many large projects rely on Dhrystone for benchmarking and selecting silicon.

I can believe it. But at least in the C/C++/Fortran world there are decent suites, e.g. SPEC, even if not everybody uses them. The browser world doesn't even have that.
