Arora - the Web browser

Arora sounds like Aurora, at least for me. It is QT-based browser, very neat and has a real potential to become one of the favorite.

At the moment, only a few GUI browsers available for Yeeloong. Iceweasel (Firefox's fork), Konqueror (who's using it?) and ... and Arora. This time, Debian has a rather out-dated version of Arora - 0.2. Let's try to play with the latest available - 0.7

That's funny, but Arora 0.6 being run on Windows XP box showed a far better result with ACID3 test, than Arora 0.7 on Yeeloong (images are below). On the right - ACID3 with Iceweasel 3.0.1, MIPS64). 

Here's a CPU workload during the Webkit's Sunspider test:

top - 19:11:26 up 7:06, 3 users, load average: 1.06, 1.00, 0.68
Tasks: 90 total, 2 running, 88 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 98.9%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st

And one more test numbers:
