v8+crankshaft (available in recent canary builds) is ... fast. really fast.
on my machine, both @640x512px+aa:
chrome 9: ~30 sec
chrome 11: ~16 sec
ff4b10: ~47 sec
my own simulated annealing image whatever: this one was always a stronghold of firefox's tracing JIT, because the fitness function consisted of dumb looping over a huge array just summing up values and (i assume) the tracing approach worked very well here.
lower is better:
chrome 9: ~50 ms/gen
chrome 11: ~17 ms/gen
ff4b10: ~22 ms/gen
v8+crankshaft beats jm!
this is very, very nice. especially for long running apps - think what it will do for node.js!
disclaimer: no real, serious testing was done, just fooling around. but try it and see for yourself!

You also should follow my reply to this thread:
It also works in IE9 if you set the doctype correctly as the W3C standard says you have to: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/#doctype Nice improvement!
Hixie
Note that IE9 behaving differently based on the DOCTYPE is a bug in IE, according to the spec.
(Also, that's the diff guide, not the spec. The spec is at http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html or http://whatwg.org/html)

Did you, or any of the people that upvoted you, actually read the W3C spec?
From your link:A DOCTYPE is a required preamble.
Note: DOCTYPEs are required for legacy reasons. When omitted, browsers tend to use a different rendering mode that is incompatible with some specifications. Including the DOCTYPE in a document ensures that the browser makes a best-effort attempt at following the relevant specifications.

Inline caching is a critical ingredient in the delicious pie that is dynamic language performance optimization. What follows is a gentle-albeit-quirky introduction to what polymorphic inline caches (PICs) are and why they’re useful to JavaScript Just-In-Time compilers like JaegerMonkey.
