Ahhhh, that explains. That's like comparing apples and cats.

I'm surprized safari scored this bad. Anyway, Browsers are likely the most complex software to properly benchmark. Writing a tangible and useful conclusion from all those charts and numbers is nearly impossible.

I have coded a few large javascript/DOM-intensive applications and my overall feeling is that chrome rocks both on compliance and speed. It also seems much better on garbage collection than FF3, which stills badly suffers from unreleased memory. My experience with safari on those applications is good overall; faster than FF3 and a little slower than chrome.

You can map special keyboard key sto mark begining or end of a block, and a few others keys to save/load/delete the block.

INSERT => mark begnining of block
END => mark end of block (and yand the block)
F2 => save block into a buffer file
F3 => insert buffer file at current position
DELETE => remove block

Here is what I do in .exrc to map those keys:

map ^[OH mx
map ^[0F my:'x,'y y^M
map ^[OQ :'x,'y w! /tmp/bufferfile^M
map ^[OR :r /tmp/bufferfile^M
map ^[[3~ :'x,'y del^M

You need to type CRTL-V before hitting the function key to get its escape sequence properly set in the file. You also can use special names for function keys ( I believe?) instead of storing your terminal-dependant sequences. ^M is a single character (hex code 0x0d) which you can type using CTRL-V followed by the ENTER key.
