Browser uses system recourses like CPU to it performance, when a browser uses more CPU itnot a very good to use because it makes your system slow. In here the windows resourcemonitor was used to measure the CPU usage percentage a browser use and Sun-spider wasused to simulate purpose

DOM Selection Speed:

When a browser can select elements in a web page its more reactive asynchronous pageupdates. For measure the j-Query selection elements Slick-Speed was used.
