    On firefox 2, I get ~180,000 loops in 1 second for this basic while loop with my Acer Travelmate 4500 (1.60Ghz/512MB)
    On IE I get only ~110,000


    <body>
<script type="text/javascript">
	now = new Date();
	future = new Date();
	future.setSeconds(now.getSeconds()+1);
	N=0
	while(now<future){
		now = new Date();
		N++
	}
	document.write(N + " incrementations in 1 second");
</script>
</body>

    96954 on Firefox 2
    51632 on Explorer 7

    Maybe you had a lot of applications working when you did the test
