Some parts of this almost reads like a commentry from a race track.... I think it should suffice to reduce the entire stamenet into a summary that there is ongoing developement on making the fastest JavaScript engine. The actual fastes engine changes between releases, and is monitored by the popular press. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sorenriise|Sorenriise]] ([[User talk:Sorenriise|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sorenriise|contribs]]) 22:05, 5 May 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Text in question:

There has since been a race by browser developers to develop even faster JavaScript engines. In 2008, [[Google Chrome]] was praised for its JavaScript performance, but other browsers with JavaScript engines soon surpassed it. Later, however, [[Google Chrome]] won in the races of better performance.{{Clarify|date=February 2010}} Chrome's strength is its application performance and [[JavaScript]] processing speed, both of which were independently verified by multiple websites to be the fastest amongst the major browsers of its time.<ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10030888-92.html Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari - Business Tech], [[CNET News]]</ref><ref>[http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,687738/Big-browser-comparison-test-Internet-Explorer-vs-Firefox-Opera-Safari-and-Chrome-Update-Firefox-35-Final/Practice/ Big browser comparison test: Internet Explorer vs. Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome], PC Games Hardware</ref><ref>[http://lifehacker.com/5286869/lifehacker-speed-tests-safari-4-chrome-2-and-more Lifehacker Speed Tests: Safari 4, Chrome 2, and More - Browsers], [[Lifehacker]]</ref> With the advent of WebKit's [[WebKit#Further_development|Squirrelfish Extreme]] and Mozilla's [[TraceMonkey]] JavaScript virtual machines, Chrome's JavaScript execution performance has been found to be slower.<ref>[http://www.builderau.com.au/news/soa/Third-Chrome-beta-another-notch-faster/0,339028227,339292979,00.htm?feed=pt_performance Third Chrome beta another notch faster - News], Builder AU</ref><ref>[http://www.builderau.com.au/news/soa/Step-aside-Chrome-for-Squirrelfish-Extreme/0,339028227,339292128,00.htm?feed=pt_performance Step aside, Chrome, for Squirrelfish Extreme - News], Builder AU</ref><ref>[http://www.satine.org/archives/2008/09/19/squirrelfish-extreme-fastest-javascript-engine-yet/ SquirrelFish Extreme: Fastest JavaScript Engine Yet], satine.org</ref><ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10031278-92.html Firefox counters Google's browser speed test - Business Tech], [[CNET News]]</ref> Google responded with the Danish developed [[V8 (JavaScript engine)]] which boosted JS performance in Google Chrome 2.
