Android vs. iPhone - Android wins 52% faster website load time (blaze.io)

The methodology looks decent. However, apart from the "does this use the fastest JavaScript" question, which the author discusses, I have two questions that I could not see addressed:

- were the web views for both devices of equal size?

- did the two devices get served the same content?

The first one probably would not make much of a difference, but the latter definitely can make a huge difference.

Oh, and the title is somewhat incorrect; this data shows that Android load speed is 50% higher. That makes its page load time 33% shorter.
