you repeated yourself about opera, just to note.

Hmm, I haven't really followed the different javascript engines. I'm a java programmer, but I usually avoid javascript like the plague. I wonder what that means for certain javascript based web applications. I know I've encountered some that don't run in tracemonkey, but do in V8.
