The Windows system is a little undepowered in comparison and FF Linux still manages to come last.

It stops at Social networking , at filtering . I wonder what the problem could be . I doubt that the problem is with my system (Athlon X2 4600 + , 2 GB RAM , ...) as I could finish the test with Firefox 3.5.6 (terrible 1343 points ) . But I guess your test gives me the conclusion (Thanks for that ) so I'll keep my Epiphany browser .

The curious thing is, that the Linux-Version runs faster... why does Peackeeper come to a lower result?

I wonder if they preform better in a kde environment, I would suggest testing them in Arch (kdemod) or mandriva (Kubuntu has awful performance compared to other kde distros) Maybe the poor results of the qt browsers are because you are testing them in gnome.
