Somewhere somehow the speed of web browsers became a pissing contests didn't it ? Google promised that the upcoming Chrome 7 browser will be 60 times faster than Chrome 6!

"This system picks the best graphics API to use on each OS that Chromium supports: Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS and Linux", wrote James Robinson, Software Engineer at Google - via neowin.
