I tested Chrome on a single core 1.8GHz laptop and the V8 engine ran
the Google benchmarks at 1200, while FF3 on the same machine ran it at
11-120.  At least on the benchmarks they made an order of magnitude
jump.  Nifty feature-wise I like he lack of status bar by using
fade-in tool-tip style balloons at the bottom for link destinations.
That saves several pixels of height, which helps the widescreen crowd,
esp. thge netbook segment.
