Dream Machine

[mimurray]

It seems top 11% is my average score. I looked through the items in Startup, and several are essential, and the ones I could safely disable I don't believe would improve the performance very much more. And disabling a few of them would mean more than just a couple extra mouse clicks to manually get to the device should it need adjusting. So I really can't see much benefit in disabling them to maybe gain a percentage point or two.

The average of the tests I ran was right at 11% with 4582 being the highest weighted score. It's interesting how the scores can vary. I would run it and get 11%, then do nothing to the machine and rerun it and get 14%, then run it right away again and get 11% again. Usually the variance was due to slightly different internet speed scores. The one constant, high score is in disk storage. If the machine had a 500 gig hard drive I think the score would probably dip a little below top 10%, maybe get it to the top 7 to 9 percent, and raise the overall weighted score a tad. But the space on the machine as it sits now is more than enough for the work load it will be handling.
