Dromaeo is currently considered to be a "work in progress." It's been brought forward for review to the other browser vendors and some concerns were raised, namely:
* The number of test iterations that are run. Currently each test is run, at least, 5 times - it's been requested that this be increased.
* The calculation of error ranges. Currently the data is fit to a t-distribution, it's been requested that it use a two-variable t-test.
* The quality of the tests. Currently the tests shown are a subset of the tests presented by [http://webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9/sunspider.html SunSpider]. There is no particular choice for these tests, other than that they were ones that originated from the original [http://ejohn.org/projects/javascript-engine-speeds/ JavaScript Engine Speeds] compilation. The corpus will likely expand to include all of the SunSpider tests, plus some. Additionally, the use of closures to encapsulate tests is contested and will probably be revised.
