It will be interesting to see how much impact does running few cpu intensive things has on aqua interface speed. Especialy 1 cpu macs vs duals..
this is what i ask you to do:
-run two mpeg 1 files at the same time like in my screenshot (they are .mpg or .mpeg extension)
-play itunes like in screenshot
-now run xbench but only 'user interface test' and post results here
make sure everything is playing and dont touch anything while test is running :)

these are imac 350 mhz results... 1.57 fps :( :D

YUCK! I want a DP! But at least, the above submitter used beta3, there might be some difference.
Here is mine:

I think there is some conspiracy going on..
How is it possible that dual is so much faster? hmmhmm

no, beta 3 from memory had lower specs at a score of 100 - thats all.
Yes but fps (frames per second in interface test) result is independent to score and it hasn't been changed between versions. I think test is valid.
