Here's a quick simple javascript benchmark.
It just times how long it takes your device to run a simple math function, runs for a few seconds at most.

Just use the default values:

Seeing some interesting results on
different devices , OS versions and browsers...

Be interesting to see diff between iPad mini,1,2,3 and 4 and OS 5.1.1 and 6.
Anyone have a Surface RT or other Win RT device to try...

Post your device, OS, and browser, they all seem to matter :

Here's some results :
iPad 4 iOS6 Safari .... 6.554
Galaxy Note ICS Chrome .... 5.945
PC 3.5GHz, Win8, Chrome .... 0.283
