"It is also supposed to improve memory usage and stability"

Did you do a comparison of memory against phantomJS?

Words from PhantomJS ex-maintainer[0]:

> I think people will switch to it, eventually. Chrome is faster and more stable than PhantomJS. And it doesn't eat memory like crazy.

Just this morning my team migrated from phantomJS to chrome headless for our Karma plus Jasmine tests. Did a bit of researching before the move and we found tests ran faster plus chrome used less memory than phantomJS. ~ 2000 specs compiling html and stuff

Any guess at how much faster the tests are running?

In fact no we didn't do any kind of benchmark. It's an assumption made of feedback from other users. As we knew we wanted to switch to headless Chrome anyway, we didn't investigate more into this part.
