Firefox has always scrolled better than chromium for me, and fast scrolling is (to me) much more important than pure javascript performance.
Add that chromium eats (i've done my tests) FAR more ram...

Better performance means lower power, because the cpu can sit idling in a lower C state longer, since it has finished processing earlier.

i'd try the same test by stacking something more, you jusy have 2 windows and nothing in the root one.
Maybe i'm wrong, but i think that focing X to repaint at least a background image (read - if...

Assuming that your system is "balanced" between cpu and gpu, compositing is a must; at least this is what i see on a poor atom n270+gma945
