I just ran Speedometer 2.0 on Chrome on macOS:

  Single core: 61.1
  4 cores: 73.7
Speedometer tests a bunch of ToDO MVC apps in many popular frameworks. It's very heavy on DOM manipulation, parsing, painting, etc. It's the hard to parallelize stuff and stuff that's supposed to represent real world usage.

JetStream 2 is easier to multithread since it plays with Web Workers and other tricks, but still, results are depressing:

  Single core: 54.4
  4 cores: 82
