We have been adding ways to Chrome infrastructure to measure performance from inside the browser, which gave a lot of important insight, but is not portable across browsers. From these investigations I am concluding that Speedometer might be the best proxy for real world performance that is currently available. We will follow up with a detailed blog post about the real world performance effort soon.
