    do you have any technical details or an link about how is this change of speed happening ? I mean, I have enabled both options(the truth is that in 3.1b2pre ----- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081107 Minefield/3.1b2pre, the option:'javascript.options.jit.content.' is already enabled by default, so just enabled the "....chrome" .I have already seen an important increase at speed, but I need to know how it is achieved.I mean, where's the catch?

    This doesn't seem to make a difference for me, tested using sunspider javascript benchmark.
