I think the benchmarks will give discrepancies that you don't see in
real life not necessarily because they're inaccurate, per se, but
because real life browsing tasks are not as intensive on
purely-javascript-operations-and-nothing-else as a javascript benchmark
is.

I was going to see if I could run this test in hv3 just for giggles, but
I'm on x86-64 and their snapshot is i386, and if you build it yourself,
it's basically impossible to get the JavaScript support to work...
