Chrome for Mac Beta nearly matches Safari in JavaScript Benchmarking

According to tests run by Computerworld, the Chrome beta, which Google launched yesterday, is the second fastest of four Mac browsers tested. Chrome renders JavaScript 10 times faster than Opera 10.10 and almost twice as fast as Firefox 3.6 Beta 4, the most recently-released Mac version of Mozilla's open-source browser.

I've been playing with Chrome several days and impressed with the speed and its clean look. However, the "top site" (what do you call top site of Safari in Chrome?) is not updating its thumbnail like the way of Safari does. And it's quite iritating my eyes.
