Hi All,

There are now brand new Digia @Web 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 versions in the extras devel repository. They both perform much faster than the N900 platform browser - and of course provide the great @Web UI.

As mentioned earlier we did not initially release @Web for N900 / Fremantle due to performance issues. Now we have re-worked the whole architecture and integrated new webkit engines. UI looks the same still, but underneath there has been several improvements.

We have also been testing the brand new Qt WebKit 2.0, which look very promising but seems to provide the best only with Qt 4.7 (which is still under development, and not stabile enough to release with). For this reason we have release two version @Web 3.0.0 that has the old and stabile Qt WebKit and 3.0.1 with new Qt WebKit 2.0.

On JavaScript performance we are 65% faster that platform browser (SunSprider bechmark). Basic rendering performance is 64% faster (Raytracer benchmark). And we get almost double the score in Peacekeeper benchmark (88% better that platform browser). When compared to Mozilla Fennec 1.0 @Web clearly beats it as well in all areas (Fennec is only slight faster than the platform browser).

Looking forward in your feedback.

Yours,

Tuukka Turunen
