Tabrez and the Spiceworks team recently did a great write up on how what browser you use affects how fast Spiceworks runs. Basically they confirmed what everyone knew, Chrome is super fast and FF just rocks but IE lags WAY behind.

Spiceworks makes extensive use of Javascript to build a rich user interface within your browser. This means that the performance of the browser has quite a lot to do with the speed of the system. We decided to run a few tests and share the results of what we’ve seen with the various browsers.

So what does this mean for you?

If you have a look at the graph below it shows that if you are using Internet Explorer (IE) Spiceworks is around 2 times slower than using FF or Chrome.

Performance Results

The full timings:

FF 3.5 FF 3.0 IE 8 IE 7 Chrome
Dashboard 6.6 7.3 11.0 7.6 5.4
Inventory (Environment Summary) 6.5 8.0 11.4 8.5 4.5
Help Desk 2.6 3.0 5.0 5.0 2.7
Average 5.9 6.3 11.1 8.8 5.5
Give it a try yourself :-)
