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. [;)]

It's interesting how much having a discrete graphics card helped my overall score. Logos 4 runs very well on this system, although it does take about 25 seconds to get up and running the first time after booting up (7 seconds for subsequent starts). I'll benchmark my office computer later when I go down to the church building.

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.)

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?

Logos 4 performs well (most of the time!)

Dominick, I agree with Rosie about curiosity about your system.  I am not familiar with your OS.  Is that a system the average user would benefit from and be able to causally use?

Logos 4 runs fine, little or no lag during searches, passage guides, etc.

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 am running Windows Server 2008 R2, which has the same underlying kernel as Windows 7, but it benchmarks about 20% faster in most of the tests I have run.  Most believe it's due to it being a SERVER O/S; but there are plenty of sites that show how to turn the eye candy back on and get the user apps we all love, to make it indistinguishable from Windows 7. It also has a very robust Virtual Machine manager built in, I run tons of stuff in it's own Virtual Box so I don't corrupt my base machine at all - it stays very virgin, so I don't end up having to reinstall every now and then like with Windows on the desktop. (That's the #1 reason I prefer it actually).

My disks are running RAID 1, so it's actually a little slower on write speed than it could be in either native mode or RAID 0. The drives are Hitachi HDS72101 drives, 4 1-terabyte drives grouped into 2 logical drives via RAID 1.

Sorry, that last post was intended to address Dominick. I left off the quote.
