    For those wanting to benchmark your chromebook, you have a new (web)app to try:

    Speedometer
    http://browserbench.org/Speedometer/


    "The Speedometer benchmark is an approximation of many sites due to its inclusion of real web frameworks including React, Angular, Ember, and jQuery."

    "By measuring real-world websites rather than traditional benchmarks, we can better optimize JavaScript patterns that matter most to users and developers."


    Previously Octane was the go-to benchmark for chromebooks, but is now retired. Google claimed too many browsers were being coded to artificially inflate their octane scores.

    One issue with this benchmark is that is is absurdly long and my Chromebook sleeps after a while haha.

    Seems low considering my Celeron Chromebook scored 29.44 and my new Flex 11 got 37.5.

    FF is just slow I guess. Chrome does 63 on the same system.
