Bubblemark

This is a fun little test of browser rendering performance: BubbleMark

I posted the following results in the comments:
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core Duo
Mac OS X 10.4.8
Flash 9.0.28 (Intel native)

Safari 2.0.4:
DHTML: 141 FPS (not a typo)
Flex: 50 FPS
Flex (caching): 58 FPS
WPF/E: 100 FPS
WPF: NA

Firefox 2.0.2:
DHTML: 72 FPS
Flex: 31 FPS
Flex (caching): 42 FPS
WPF/E: 64 FPS
WPF: NA

Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1 (running in Parallels 3186)
NOTE: There seems to be more variability in the scores, with some ramp-up time

IE7:
DHTML: 80 FPS
Flex: 70 FPS
Flex (caching): 96 FPS
WPF/E: 81 FPS
WPF: 97 FPS

Firefox 2.0.2:
DHTML: 53 FPS
Flex: 56 FPS
Flex (caching): 64 FPS
WPF/E: 58 FPS
WPF: NA
I should really boot into Windows to complete the test run, but to lazy right now.
