I took these two tests about 1-1/2 months apart. The test I did today is the lower score.

What could cause such a drop? I haven't changed anything about the computer and the performance doesn't feel worse to me.

What are the user interface and elements tests?

You need to find out what "User Interface Test" is because that's where you took the significant drop (about 1/20th the performance).

xbench is a horrible benchmark

Only two tests are much worse.

I thought there were reports that 10.6.3 reverted some the graphics updates.
