A part of me finds that ad for Chrome irritating. All it really shows is that it renders the page faster to video memory than an LCD screen refreshes. So the speed of the browser is irrelevant, since the ad demonstrates that you are waiting on the refresh rate of an LCD screen, not the browser

This is also eyebrow raising: http://www.neowin.net/news/google-re...t-it-was-faked

The thing is a moot point. A single non-cached DNS lookup is going to take longer than the rendering displayed here. If you were to benchmark an end-to-end page request, address lookup, connect, download, render and display transaction, rendering in any browser is going to be a tiny fraction of the overall time spent from the time you click on a link till the time the page is loaded and the browser is quiesced.
