well i did the performance test without coolbook, and it read 63%-71%.
installed and payed for coolbook.
did the performance test and it reads a steady 46% after the initial jump to 53% on hitting play. :D changed all the reverbs to highquality with 120% stereo and got a steady 53%.

Xbench went from 112 score to 115.49 with everything still running, 119.28 with all apps closed. i feel like my MBP just got a boob job.

:D

it's weird though...when cool book is running, the live performance test and the xbench are way higher, but boot up time and overall computer responce is shit. activating dashboard is even choppy. then i turn off coolbook and overall perforamance is back to snappy MBP self, and the live performance test is catastrophic, averaging 157%. :?:

Try LOGIC, works much better. Or any standalone software. I use amplitube, ultra analog, lounge lizard, all playable. :D 8) :idea:
