Um, the test clearly states that there shouldn't be any other open browser windows/tabs...
I know that, but as I was half way through the test I read that part & because I was in the middle of something I was not about to close the tabs to do it.
I just did it again then with no other tabs open, it came out way lower mark. There goes that theory.

That is strange, I've tried it with other tabs open and with no other tabs open and always got a slightly better score with no tabs open.
I know right? It's a strange thing but I always do seem to go faster with more open
I haven't posted updates in a while. Nightly is 64 bit all others 32 bit. Opera 12 pre-alpha build 1033.
Coincidence you can repeat the test & get a different score nothing to do with tabs its more to do with system resources.
On a fast PC with 20 tabs open its no problem unless one of those tabs is poorly scripted or is incompatible with your browser.
Even on a fast PC open 100+ tabs & the Peacekeeper scores will drop.
I think the Peacekeeper FAQ used to mention not having tabs in the past but use your commonsense.What factors affect the score?
Other than the browser itself, the most significant factor affecting the score is the type of CPU in your PC. After that, the power of your graphics card affects the result somewhat, though mostly in situations where the card is very slow, or no drivers have been installed for it. Running other applications that consume system resources at the same time as the benchmark is running will naturally affect the score. The size of the viewable browser area also affects the score, so the screen resolution you use, the size of the browser window and whether the window is minimized affect the score as well. Beyond these, other factors are usually not significant. Your internet connection speed and network latency do not influence the score in any way.
Opera scored over 17,000 after I increased my overclock on my i7 920 CPU from 4 Ghz to 4.252 GHZ
