Lower scores are better, right? Based on that speedometer graph.

Correct.

Sadly I don’t see it happening in Linux yet 😢

Yeah linux performance right now is poorer wrt Windows, you can compare the Windows benchmarks with Linux ones

EDIT: Does anyone know why there's that spike for most of the benchmarks starting February 8th/10th? Seems like it affected both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox, although in some cases FF seems to have been hit the most. A Kernel update maybe? Some syscall changed?

Could be a readjustment in the metrics. They fix test and measurement errors from time to time and it often looks like a spike. They attach notes to the data points sometimes. Maybe clicking one of them during that time will shed some light.

My guess is a change in hardware.

Spuddaccino , to Firefox in May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome.

It seems like an odd choice to put bigger numbers lower down, when we generally associate them with up. Any idea why it’s visualized that way?

Could be a score about time. Small numbers = faster = better = up.

I think it is so that on all graphs “lower” down is better. But agree it’s kind of unusual layout. Looking at the graphs for Linux i wonder what happened in feb 11:th this year - where all values for Firefox got a lot worse.

Sometimes the hardware or software configurations of the machines running the tests changes, or a bug in the test harness itself is fixed, which can skew all of the results at once.

A graph showing the Speedometer benchmark comparing Firefox, Chromium and Chrome. In the graph, lower is better. The top of the graph shows Chromium at around the 120 mark, with a slight change for the worse towards the end of June. The middle of the graph shows Firefox, rapidly closing in on Chrome, moving from ~150 to ~165. The bottom fo the graph shows Chrome fairly steady between ~165 and ~170.
