Browser Speed Tests: Safari 5, Firefox 3.6, Chrome 6, and Opera 10.6 Beta

Boot-Up and Warm Loading—Winner: Opera 10.6 Beta!
Not a huge surprise, as Opera's 10.5 pre-alpha took the prize for cold start-ups last time. It's probably the most variable of the tests in this series, given the mysteries of hard drives, CPUs, and Windows app management—but Opera consistently starts up the fastest from a dead stop. The "warm" starts, after having run each browser once, are close enough together that Chrome's win there is notable, but not the decider.
