Chrome(10.0.648.151) vs Firefox 4

With all the hype surrounding Firefox 4, I thought of giving it a try. Downloaded it in Ubuntu first but was not impressed. Came back to Windose and installed it. At the first look I must admit that it looks very refreshing and sleek. As I am a Google Chrome user for a long time. Thought of running a performance test using http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/FlyingImages/ . The results were quite towards chrome I must say. One point to note that Firefox 4's hardware acceleration feature was disabled, since my configuration doesn't support it. On the other side Chrome too ran without it. See the results below:-

Firefox 4:
















Chrome 10.0.648.151:
















Looks like Chrome is a clear winner with 39fps vs Firefox's 21fps. Way to go Google. Someone tried out with hardware accelerator on? Let me know your comments.
