Hi, Thad.
I'm not sure what you will do with the data. But there can be wide variance in results on the same machine unless there are constraints placed on what other activities the PC is doing. I have a variety of background processes that at times will consume a variety of resources, including incremental backups to local and cloud-based servers, anti-virus scans, etc. that could affect the results of any testing.

For example, I had a process running which was consuming 50% of the CPU and some network and disk bandwidth when I ran your tests the first time. I repeated the Benchmark ToDoList test 3 times, and each time the results improved. I ran it a 4th time after deleting the Benchmark.otp and Benchmark.otr files, and restoring your original file.

Below are the various results showing the consequences of having other things running on the PC.

If you are running Windows 8 or above, the Windows Experience Index is not provided by Windows. But there are 3rd party tools which purport to produce the WEI, e.g. Winaero WEI Tool:


PC Info:

3rd Benchmark ToDoList results:


2nd Online Benchmark after terminating the process that was consuming 50% of the CPU and some other resources:


and finally:

4th Benchmark ToDoList results, after restoring the original Benchmark.otp and deleting the Benchmark.otr prior to retesting:
