Developers can now check out the seventh platform preview of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 browser, which boasts a 345 percent improvement in JavaScript performance.
With the new IE9 Platform Preview, Microsoft has increased the JavaScript performance of the browser by 345 percent since its introduction a year ago. IE9’s performance on the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark is now 234.6 milliseconds. Microsoft launched IE9 Platform Preview 7 on 17 November.
Microsoft also said there have been more than 13 million downloads of the IE9 beta since its launch. At PDC 2010, Microsoft said there had been 10 million IE9 downloads. The 2010 PDC ran 28-29 October, just three weeks prior to the release of the seventh platform preview of IE9.
