Why is this MDD scoring this high?

You can try Let1kwindowsbloom, it's useful to show a in excess bloated system folder ... and its dramatic repercussion in graphic and System responsiveness.

I installed the Universal Mac OS 9.2.2 from here today and it did the trick. Got more or less spot on the same graphics benchmark score in MacBench as you MacTron! Was using the "os9general.dmg" before. Going to go with the universal install on all machines now. The speed increase is very noticable.

Haven't really paid any attention to this before, thinking "how much of a difference can it make?". The answer is "a huge difference" . Thanks for the great work guys!

I don't think that's the real cause, as "Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal Install" and "os9general.dmg" are pretty the same. ( Mac OS ROM Version 10.2.1, Mac OS CPU Software 5.9 from 04.2003 )

 ... maybe you have some issues in your old system folder ...

In fact I have my own system folder used across all my G4s.  Based on "os9general.dmg".

I have the same extensions activated in both system folders. Everything is the same.
You're probably right, but I don't know where to start looking or if it's worth it at all since everything works like it should now. See attached picture

The Processor and Floating point are better than I could expect. The Ti4600 performs incredible well as it could be expected. But otherwise the "Disk Mix" and "Publishing Disk Mix" is a bit low... it's weird.

Probably due to my KingSpec SSD. Should put in a SSD from a "good" brand in it and see what happens to the benchmarks.
