The 7th release of the IE9 platform preview brings a number of performance improvements in Charka, Microsoft's JavaScript engine.

The IE9 team has increased its performance by 345% since the first platform preview. The video posted by Microsoft also shows off how well IE9 Platform Preview 7 can handle HTML5 compared to Firefox 4 beta 7 and Chrome 8 beta. The new platform preview brings three three new benchmark tests, including Galactic, HTML5 Sudoku, and Shakespeare's Tag Cloud.
