Fairly unusual, Apple was kind enough to comment on the results of a study showing the smartphone Android browser faster to load web pages that Safari integrated in IOS. As you said yesterday, this study is partly distorted by a bug (or a voluntary restriction) IOS. Apple has confirmed to our colleagues at CNet and Ars Technica that the application used by Blaze to measure the load time of pages do not take advantage of improvements that benefit iOS Safari 4.3.
Applications that want to display a web page within them using an integrated browser called UIWebView which Apple admitted not giving the same privileges as iOS Safari 4.3. Among these privileges are including runtime JavaScript Nitro 2.5 x faster. We wrote yesterday that the influence of this engine on the loading time was measured some ...
and we were wrong. The loading time was measured by Blaze effect the time taken by the browser to send the command DocumentComplete. Now this event is normally held before any execution of Javascript. We feel that Blaze would have made a measurement of feeling closer to a user until an event that signals the complete record of the page.
Nitro engine is not the only difference between Safari and UIWebView. The latter would not use either the loading mechanisms of asynchronous elements or caching. The integrated browser apps in the Android does not seem to suffer the same limitations. The study represents less Blaze performance of native browsers on both platforms as those applications displaying web content (a twitter client for example).
