Safari in iOS 7 has better performance than iOS 6

As the new Apple iOS 7 has been finally released, I have upgraded an iPad 2 and compared the performance of Safari Mobile browser in iOS 7 to iOS 6. The benchmark results show that iOS 7 has better performance in web browsing and better compliance to web standards. Have a look at the comparison table:

Browser	Browsermark	Octane Benchmark	HTML5 Test	CSS3 Test
Safari / iOS7	2288	1479	399 + 9	61%
Safari / iOS6	2022	935	386 + 9	59%
Improvement	13%	58%	3%	2%
