Why in the world would you put that here?
So this is a problem with Snow Leopard that needs to be corrected. What it means is that the xBench scores are correct and until Apple fixes the issue with OpenGL we will see slower performance with Snow Leopard.
I don't believe the xBench test should be run without selecting OpenGL. The whole point is that Snow Leopard isn't functioning as well as Leopard and that is why the xBench scores are lower in SL.
Yet another reason to not upgrade to SL as it appears it isn't ready. I must admit I have been rather disappointed and unimpressed by Snow Leopard and Apple.
It's too bad as I hoped this was a problem with the xBench test somehow and not Snow Leopard.
The only processes slower would be graphics high in GL rendering like some games.
It's not just the Air, I get the same GL results w. my MBP. If you take the GL test out, the comparisons of Leo vs. SL are fairly accurate.
