Just curious: What are your results on the free NovaBench benchmark (www.novabench.com)? How does Logos 4 perform on your computer?

Runs Logos 4 like a champ, as far as I'm concerned. Very satisfied with the performance in a mobile computer.
For comparison's sake, here's the computer I just upgraded from. (You can probably see why I'm giddy.)

Logos 4 runs, and is adequate for reading resources (once it's managed to start up). Guides take painfully long to generate. It's faster than researching using dead trees, but it can be frustrating to wait. Indexing takes a long time.
Man I guess Mac users need not apply...
I'll fire up my old pc that was purchased before I left for college (over 7 years ago) and see how it fares.

This looks useful and very interesting to see the wide range of results people are getting. I wonder if we might be able to come up with recommendation for a minimal benchmark people would want to have on NovaBench to make Logos run acceptably fast? (But I guess everyone's definition of "acceptably fast" will be unique.)
I've downloaded the software, but I've currently got about 20 applications running and it recommends I shut them all down before running the benchmarks. Probably a good idea. In fact, it's probably best to run the benchmarks after a fresh reboot, so as to have as much memory available as possible. I'm not going to get around to it for a while though, as I'm in the middle of a dozen tasks. Do you think I multi-task too much? Maybe that's part of why Logos runs so slowly on my machine.

My score is not great, compared to some others. But this is on my laptop. My faster desktop died a while back and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet.

I wish it would list what hard disk make and model we all have. DOMINICK AND DON, I'd like to know what you're using that gets you such blazing fast write speeds. I'm preparing to get a home-built system with some help from a friend, and I want to make it the fastest possible. I'm researching specs at the moment, so this NovaBench thing was very timely. Thanks, Bob Schaefer!

Also the difference between a discrete graphics card and integrated graphics does have quite an impact on the overall Nova score as shown between my score and Bob's score (only 1 point difference). Yet I suspect Logos 4 would run faster on his machine given that his CPU score is much higher. Various components could skew the overall Nova score in the same manner. So would you have to have minimal scores for each component as well as an minimum overall score?
