Autocad Benchmark using Cadalyst 2008 - Results

[GreyHippo]

I just ran Cadalyst's updated benchmark tool (http://www.cadalyst.com/benchmark) on two of my systems. Supposedly it will give a benchmark test for 2D and 3D. Went I get to work tomorrow I will upload the results with details for each system.

I was hoping to compare these to other system configurations, so give it a whirl and upload your results.

I didn't run the 3D test because we only do 2d drafting.

(Single Loop Time = 111 min)

The thing I don't understand is the 'Loop Time'. It seems like this has no relation to the other test results?

On my computer with A2008 the 2D single loop time is 11 mins and 30 mins for the 2D/3D one. The latter test can have quite variable times. Each test started from a clean boot and setting as per the benchmark instructions.
