Very interesting page with a number of surprising results, and some humorous ones (InternetExplorer gets slower with each insecure, non-compliant release).

He covers a selection of browsers from Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Unfortunately he doesn't test any of the really "old" browsers like Mosaic or Lynx, but you can't have everything.
