Degrading results

[jamesschroer]

I'm running version 6.1 (1017) and I'm noticing each time I run it the results come back lower. After running it about 4 times the results were noticiably lower. So I rebooted. Now some test are higher (some of the memory) and some are now even lower (some CPU). The CPU Marks are off by a few hundred and the Memory Mark is off by close to 200. I have a script so it runs the exact same every time. I haven't been doing anything different like starting/stopping services or killing proccesses. Any thoughts?

The large memory test result will vary depending on how much free RAM you have.

The CPU results shouldn't vary much (<5%) unless you have some background tasks running which eat up CPU time now and again. Have a look at the individual results to see if all the results are down, or just one test.
