    It seems that there is some bug present in the Application speed test tool which we can not define.

    Some of the apps are closed even before they appear on the screen (and surely not fully loaded). And the most irritating is that this glitch appears to be computer dependent and most of the time can not be reproduced on another machine.

    I have the same problem, when I tried to do the application speed test using Internet explorer and windows media player, neither application opened and the speeds were ridiculously fast.

    We have found the reason of the problem. The next version will have the tool fixed.

    Since this version appears to be slightly flawed, in regards to the speed test (for some of us), do you still want the results uploaded to yourselves, or should we wait until the newest version is released?


  6. Andrew Zarudnev

    Please wait for the Tuesday release. However if you receive some realistic results with an application of your choice (the error does not happen with all applications) you can submit them.
