How Reliable is Quadrant

[AnimaTechnica]

i've been seeing a lot of folks posting quadrant scores in a number of tablet sites so i decided to download the free version to test my nook - while i am pleased to score pretty high on it (as high as 2200 on CM7 Stable +nightly 38 +4/14/11A OC) i am concerned by the run to run variation

running 3 times gives me 3 different scores with up to a 500 point delta - this seems a lot

does anyone have insight no this benchmark?

Android is a multi-tasking operating system where there are always many systems and/or apps running. Applications are constantly being shut down and turned on. Quadrant scores will always fluctuate somewhat from test to test for that reason.

Smartbench and Linpak offer more consistent results but scores for comparisson aren't as wide spread. Here are two benchmark threads.

so would you say running it after a fresh reboot might provide the most repeatable testing?
