“Although they both take about 8 seconds to run on my machine” — I think the point of the benchmark is to see how many cycles it can run in 8 seconds, not to see how quickly they can run a certain number of cycles.

I went over to John Resig’s Processing.js examples, and every example that didn’t use timed loops ended up running several times faster in Chrome than Firefox 3.

The general run time for other javascript/DOM building applications seems to be pretty much indistinguishable from Firefox 3, mostly (I think) because they’ve so far been tailored to slower browsers, so they keep things pretty simple. With this vastly-improved performance, though, I imagine developers will be more willing to create web applications that will require something as fast as Chrome to have a decent user experience.

I ran a webkit.org - performance test myself yesterday at http://goit-postal.blogspot.com/2008/09/chrome-first-little-test-with-highly.html . It compares the overall time to previous tests with the same setup (http://goit-postal.blogspot.com/2008/05/javascript-core-performance-in-actual.html) so you can compare Google Chrome to FF2/FF3, IE7, Opera and Safari. Have fun!

I actually tested v8, tracemonkey, and squirrelfish here:

v8 is 3x faster on dromaeo and 2x faster on sunspider.

If you’re not already aware, you can test using a TraceMonkey-enabled build right now — just grab a trunk build of Firefox [0]. You might also want to create a new profile [1], although it’d probably be OK to use your existing one.
