Curios about the new Google Chrome browser performance, we have measured the performance for TaskWriter on several browsers.

Some facts :

• TaskWriter is written using the Google Web Toolkit framework.
• Most of processing is done client side. After login, all user’s data is retrieved browser side. Next, each filtering operation is performed locally (JavaScript).

How we tested :

• We have measured the amount of time required for the two most costly operations : 1. retrieving all data from the server after login, 2. filtering the list of tasks on custom filter and rendering the task table. For each browser, we considered the sum of the two time amounts.
• For each operation, we have repeated the measurement 10 times.
• We have dropped the best and the worse result.
• We have computed the arithmetic mean of the remaining 8 results.
