im not sure how it calculates score (some sort of weighted avg), but the other numbers are speeds calculated by writing files or the display response you saw.

Go down to Texas find a nice backbone, hook up directly to it.. that'll do ya. Or invest in a nice walk in refrigerator, get a whole bunch of racks and put xserves in them, hook them all together.. create yourself a super computer.. that might do it :)
