In all realitiy for our purposes its a trash bin if you decide to run the tests in the normal way, step one then step two with reasonable bounds from the begininning.
Normal way meaning letting it run stage 1 and 2 which on my older xeon 2.8 means about 9+ hour per wu. Trash the residue. Tried to lower the memory allocation per Prime95 from 840mb to 720mb did not noticed much if any difference. Probably need to change it when it is running stage 2. Ok will let it go for now. I should not expect much factors at this level, correct?
