I'm creating a javascript loop bench mark test suite:

http://www.vervestudios.co/jsbench/

Basically, I am just looking for some feedback, ideas, bug reports, etc to improve the benchmark.

I know this may not be a SO question...if you vote to close I won't have any hard feelings. :-) (you could suggest a more appropriate forum for my request)

Right now, it only works in Chrome 6 and Firefox 3.6 (and probably Safari). There are lots of layout issues and some random JS issues I still need to work out for IE 6+.


And because some people may want to read the "about" section without going to the site:

Loopymark runs 19 loop tests over this data set using a max-style benchmark. Each test is run 5 times for 1 second. The arithmetic mean is then used to rank each loop algorithm. Eventually, loopymark will begin collecting and aggregating the test data (optionally). The relative scores collected from this data will be analysed to determine the best loop method by browser/operating system market share. Hopefully, this will enable javascript developers to easily choose which loop methods should be used in practice.

Loopymark is NOT meant to promote pre-mature optimization; but rather to help developers understand looping methods and develop optimal habits when programming loops.
