Futuremark’s Peacemaker tests many more things than just javascript performance and that is why is Opera places fairly nicely there. Flash,Java and Silverlight tests show very similar overall performance among all the browsers and Opera manages to take the top spot in only one of them by a lead of 0.04. The HTML5 test is not an indication of performance, however both Chrome and Maxthon place significantly higher in it then Opera. In regards to Chrome’s HWA performance – it was likely poor because you didn’t enable the “GPU Accelerated SVG and CSS Filters” flag in the chrome:flags page. And Opera’s HWA even though it’s fast, it’s basically in an unusable state right now.
