New Javascript Engine in Firefox Speeds Browser Up 40%
Firefox coders hungry to squeeze every bit of speed out of the browser will be happy to hear that Mozilla's new Javascript engine, JägerMonkey, is netting performance gains of 30-40%. I'm not a coder so I'm not sure what all the hubbub is about but fast equals good, right?

Mozilla's Dave Mandelin like what he sees so far, reporting the "JägerMonkey implements enough JavaScript to run all of SunSpider in "Jäger mode" and is 18% faster than the interpreter." He adds, "And we haven't done that many optimizations yet–there are many more things we will do."
