more or less

Well, as everyone else has already posted, I ran Kestrel through its paces performance-wise. For the couple of hours it took, I tried to be as thorough as possible. That is, unlike the vast majority of performance tests, I give you measures that include the variability of the values I present. This allows you to assess how clearly different two values may be. If I was to be statistically obsessive, I would have had to run several hundred samples for each test for each browser. But life is short, and small-sample studies are published every day in scientific literature world-wide ;-)

Kestrel is pretty phenomenal on the stress tests, and a little bird has told me to expect things are going to get even faster soon!!!

I've had very mixed responses to the white-on-black design (note images are transparent PNGS — it was an experiment on a small time-budget). The graphs were also a side-project to see how Apple's new spreadsheet app works. Conclusion: crippled for scientists and far more buggy than kestrel!
