browser-mips

It measures how many times the browser can calculate particular computation per second.

Higher numbers mean a faster browser.

The rating can be used to work out if the user can handle visual effects.

Generally if the rating is under 100, then hardcore JavaScript is probably not a good idea.

By counting the number of times the browser can run a sha1 hash in 150ms, and extrapolating that out to a second.

The rating can change pretty dramatically depending on the system load, browser brand and a bunch of other things, so its best not to take it too seriously.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• Prototype JS
