Hiya, not sure if this is an issue for anyone else?

But my iMac seems a very small fraction slower than it was on mavericks.

My last benchmark was on mavericks, to have something to compare to the new 5k iMacs when they come out and was this:-

NovaBench Score: 1395

However updating it's gone down a bit.

Seems to be in the graphics test mostly that's gone down.

What do you guys think?
