You boot into Ubuntu on a laptop that’s connected via ethernet to a wireless router, and then connect your test laptop to that router’s Wi-Fi. The benchmark runs on Linux from a USB key. That’s not even mentioning that the route the packets take to reach your screen could differ considerably moment to moment. These and other uncontrollable variables are enough to scare me off of running comparative tests using the live internet.ĮMBC is a small benchmarking outfit that claims its BrowsingBench test removes the variability in testing browsers.
