Questions
*This should be BOLD CAPS MAJOR, almost lost all my wiki edits.
==QuestionsSkewing the Test==*How much of this test is reliant on applications currently running on the system? Can one skew the test results to give inaccurate readings by overloading the system?
*By running a quick test I realized that by overloading the processor, the results of the test become much less useful. During Before running the test framework I ran started a multitude of applicationsto occupy the processor:**2 x YouTube Flash Video**1 x disk defragmenter **1 x Flash game**1 x Flash site**1 x Windows Media streamed video
**2 x YouTube Flash Video Sites**1 x Disk Defragmenter **1 x Flash Game**1 x Flash Media Site**1 x Windows Media Streamed Video *By looking at the images below, the Normal test's % of processor peaks at approximately 26.5%. In contrast the overloaded test shows a low point of 26.5%. This result actually has nothing to do with Firefox, but everything to do with stress put on the processor from external applications. In addition the other results were affected aswell.
