I can see one problem with these benchmarks - you test dev version of Chrome and compare it with stable/released version of Safari...

Having said that - I'm using Chrome 6 on my Mac - it _feels_ faster then Safari 5.

Edit: updated to reflect 5.0.375 with little impact to the numbers.

I'm not sure that you should be using the "recommended tests" option of Dromaeo, since that option includes SunSpider and V8 Bench. We already know the results of those tests (since you ran them separately), so maybe you should just run the Dromaeo-specific tests.

Edit: Do you think it would skew things that much? It seems to show a much wider disparity with Chrome hitting > 5k runs per second and Safari 5 hitting only 308... My only concern about that is the appearance of cherry picking results instead of using their recommended tests.
