Because of the unique methods that testmy.net employs benchmarking of browsers is possible.  This is not the case with most other speed testing sites.  Flash and java based speed tests have it all wrong IMO.

Here are download tests that were taken moments apart and you can see the difference of how each specific browser has handled the test.  There are many contributing factors that lead to the discrepancy.  But, what this shows you is that testing here can really lead you to the fastest browsing solution.

These were all tested on my girlfriends Macbook (it's like a 2006 model and it performs that well)

Normally Chrome performs better for me... but recently there has been bobbles... may need a fresh install

Having tried most , I only got I.E. 8 , firtefox went out the window a long while back , Google Chrome ? I tried it once , it went out the window also , but then I don't use much google stuff anyway , ( a pet hate )
Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts... they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun; but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric.

Webuser... don't be afraid to post your compID.  It reveils nothing personal about your computer ;)

Oh and those numbers where your hostname should be... just means that I had a hard time detecting your host... working to resolve that, it's not always as easy as it seems.
