A bit off topic but on my Firefox (3.5.7) + Firebug setup the
TaskSpeed tests keeps crashing every time it gets to Dojo 1.4 with a
"task.execute is not a function" error. Luckily clicking the start
test button resumes the test but that means I need to click on it for
each row of the test.

Maybe it's just my browser setup (not the first time Firebug caused
problems for me) but it would be nice if it works as advertised.

Site is updated to add the test page link you suggested, as well as the
Primer links. Thanks for your input!

LOL. I'm not surprised. That means that TaskSpeed's ineffectual
exception handling is failing to catch something. Not surprising as it
was written by a Dojo guy. :) Why Dojo 1.4 would be special in FF3.5.7
+ FireBug is anyone's guess (and isn't that the rub with Dojo?) I tried
it with FF3.6 just now and didn't have that problem. I did have to fix
TaskSpeed's exception handling for YUI a ways back (TaskSpeed did
something stupid in the catch clause that threw a second exception).
I'll look into this one...

Yes, that's bad.

I'll see what the hell TaskSpeed is doing to allow an exception to crash
the test. No rest for the wicked. :)
