Hi to all I just made some benchmarks on the browsers for understand what is the best for my configuration ..

I have a Sam 460ex 2gb ram OS 4.1
I test the download speed using the tool netspeedometer

For do this test I goes on aminet (the best repo in the world)
and start the download of tales of tamar a game demo 138mb big
And Download it in the RAM disk .
I Download it 2 time for be sure of my results..

Max Kbs is the max value I see during the download on netspeedometer..

This is my results on my Sam

max 160 kbs Netsurf
max 290 kbs Aweb ppc
max 507 kbs Ibrowse
max 133 kbs owb
max 723 kbs mui owb
max 282 kbs timber wolf

More test .. IMac 4 core I7...
Chrome Os X max 220 Kbs
Firefox Os X max 711 Kbs
Safari Os X max 301 Kbs

It seems MUI OWB is best browser for downloading (and good old IBrowse close second), Netsurf result is surprisingly bad.

@pavlor

I dont know looks like the browser who are using mui are more faster then the other .
More speed in download means more faster in download the mime too and faster browsing.
Probably there is some mui library for the network and this library gave better results compared to reaction?

I don´t think so. These things are probably unrelated.

Maybe, never heard of anything similar.

@pavlor

i dont like muiowb because all time i open it it start caching the fonts... and it become slower in opening like timberwolf... if i dint have this problem mui ovb will be i think the best browser for my configuration.

Maybe you could do a likewise test with ftp-progs and
see if the mui ones are faster then the other ones.

Are you sure that quoting the max peak speed seen is the best way to measure which is fastest? I mean, wouldn't a better way be to time how long the entire download takes and take an average to calculate the speed. Two times isn't enough either - also depends on your network connection, and Aminet's. I'm not so sure there is that big a difference in reality when it comes to downloading. I know that with IBrowse, the limiting factor would be the network connection and HDD speed, because all it does is simply read from the network connection and write that buffer straight to disk - there is nothing to slow it down, other than other apps and possibly due to the 68k emulation.

That's a commonly occuring, but solvable, problem with MUI-OWB on OS4.

Solutions have been found:

@Futaura

for sure in time with clock in my hands the fasters browser in downloading is Muiowb and Ibrowse...


i just make another test ...
using os4depot and dowloading muiowb 22mb file.

for now ibrowse max dl speed 822kbs
netsurf max 480 kbs


about the decoding/rendering of the pages and fastest scrolling.

for now
Owb and netsurf looklike the fastest

amftp from aminet dowload file
1941ed_mos.lha max 48kbs (petunia?)
amiftp os4 max 204 kbs
peteftp 215 kbs max

nice test, i didn't know that browser did actually slow down the download rate. but now that i'm aware of the issue, i do see the different between OWB and MuiOWB , and the difference between Chrome and Firefox, i always thought this was network related by the different network standard that been used today. thanks for this information

@tlosm

With me amftp says 257kbs average for that file.

Have done a second test and this is what i get:

amftp: 506 and 530 average speed
amiftp: 357 and 356 average speed

Hmm, could it be related to the proxy of our providers?
