Web Latency Benchmark: A new kind of browser benchmark

I can't help but think this should be a test for websites, not computers. It's individual sites full of 3rd party shit that are slow and you can see the performance penalty by installing Ghostery.

It's more of a test for browsers than computers. You can compare Chrome vs. Firefox vs. IE vs. Safari.

Measuring the input latency of individual websites would be interesting too. I'd love to incorporate that into the benchmark if I could figure out a way to do it.

There are already good tools for measuring network delays. Firefox's web inspector does a beautiful job of graphing how the various requests contribute to overall page load time. This tool is about measuring how responsive the UI is, even when you're still fetching more data.
