About a 6 months ago I ran the PassMark benchmarks and everything looked ok. Today I ran it again, and for some reason the Memory - Allocate Small Block test is about 1/2 of what it was and everything else is close. As far as I know nothing has changed so what would cause that test to be low? Tell me if you need any more info. Thanks
